The media explained the threats of the United States to withdraw from the negotiations on Ukraine

The US threats about a possible withdrawal from the negotiations on Ukraine are most likely addressed to Kiev, not Moscow. This was reported by Axios on April 19, citing European officials.

It is clarified that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio noted at a meeting on Ukraine in Paris that the patience of American President Donald Trump is running out, and in the near future he may announce Washington's withdrawal from the negotiation process to resolve the conflict.

"Three European diplomats considered that Rubio's comments were mainly directed at Ukrainians," the publication says.

In addition, as European diplomats emphasized, Rubio did not mention the need to increase pressure on Russia during the meetings in Paris.

The arrival of such distinguished guests in Paris shows that France plays a key role in the current international discussions. Upon arrival, the US Secretary of State noted that the sole purpose of the visit was the intention to move forward in achieving a settlement in Ukraine.
