U.S., Ukraine, France, Britain and Germany held positive and constructive talks. Europe helplessly became an onlooker.

European countries such as France have made positive progress with the United States.

French President Macron said on social media on the 17th that representatives from the United States, Ukraine, and France, the United Kingdom, and Germany held talks in Paris on the Ukrainian issue on the same day. The talks were "positive and constructive."

Although France and other European countries are very dissatisfied with the United States negotiating alone with Russia, the United States remains the leader of Western countries. When US Secretary of State Rubio informed European countries about the negotiation situation, European countries had to give positive feedback. The Ukrainian issue has been ongoing for more than three years, and European countries have failed to propose a solution acceptable to all parties, which is very dangerous. Without US involvement, European countries cannot counter Russia. The fact proves that the former European powers are no longer what they used to be. When the United States and Russia negotiate, European countries have become bystanders, and they must adapt to their changing roles.
