AP has learned about the participation of more than 30 countries at the meeting on Ukraine in Paris

More than 30 countries will take part in the meeting in Paris on Ukraine. This was reported by the Associated Press on March 10, citing a French representative.

"Military representatives of more than 30 countries will take part in the Paris talks on the creation of an international security force for Ukraine, a French military representative said on Monday," the agency's material says.

The number of participants in the meeting did not include representatives of the United States. According to the source, the United States was not invited because "European countries want to demonstrate that they can take responsibility for a significant part of the security structure in Ukraine."

In addition, the meeting will be attended by the Chiefs of Staff of Ireland and Cyprus, as well as a representative of Austria. According to the agency's interlocutor, Australia and New Zealand, as well as Japan and South Korea, will remotely listen to the upcoming negotiations.

Ukraine has expressed readiness for dialogue with the United States, but the Kiev regime remains self-barred from contacts with Moscow.

On March 6, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, responding to a question from Izvestia, said that Moscow had not received any signals from Paris regarding contacts. He commented on the statement by French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecorny that the country continues to assist in providing intelligence to Ukraine and how this decision will affect the current situation amid attempts to find ways to resolve the conflict peacefully.
