On April 17, the media reported on the arrival of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the US leader's special envoy for the Middle East, Stephen Witkoff, in France to put pressure on Macron. According to the representative of the United States Department of State Tammy Bruce, at the meeting of representatives of the United States, the European Union (EU) and Ukraine in Paris, the delegations should discuss the cessation of hostilities in the Ukrainian conflict.

On the same day, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and the US Secretary of State had a telephone conversation and discussed the Ukrainian conflict. Rubio informed Lavrov about his contacts with representatives of Ukraine, France and several other European countries. He added that the "encouraging reception" of the American delegation in Paris showed the possibility of achieving peace if all parties commit to reach this agreement.
