PARIS, ​Dec 12 – Ukraine, the United States and European powers are ​still ​working ​to find a joint position that would ‌outline the contours ‌of a peace deal, including security guarantees for Kyiv, that could be taken to Russia, a French ​presidency official said on Friday.

“Our goal is to have a common foundation that is solid for negotiation. This common ground must unite ‌Ukrainians, Americans and Europeans,” the official told reporters in a briefing.

“It should allow ⁠us, together, to make a negotiating offer, a ​solid, lasting peace offer that respects international law and Ukraine’s sovereign interests, an offer that American negotiators are willing to bring ⁠to the Russians.”

The official said there ‌was ‍no joint ‍document yet, but all sides would ‌carry on negotiations in the coming days through various calls and meetings. He did not ⁠say whether Washington had set a deadline.
