The German and Spanish ministers added that no decisions can be made without Ukrainian approval.
Sweden's Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard (M) emphasizes the importance of Ukraine participating in the negotiations.
"Only a peace that Ukraine achieves through strength can be sustainable. No peace can be negotiated without Ukraine, and it must have Ukraine's – and Europe's – security at its center", she says in a written comment to TT.
"A peace negotiated from a weak position would only encourage continued Russian aggression", she continues.
Corrected: In an earlier version of the text, there was an incorrect statement about American participation at the meeting in Paris.
