In an interview on LCI, the minister stated that this event marked a significant accomplishment for his country.

Barrot emphasized that for the first time, representatives from Ukraine, the UK, France, Germany, and the USA met together, which is a considerable success in diplomacy.

"This is an important step towards our common goal — peace," he added.
