Kushner and Witkoff to meet European envoys before Abu Dhabi talks

US President Donald Trump's special envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff will meet European representatives before trilateral Ukraine-US-Russia talks in Abu Dhabi. Kushner stated Trump is determined to end the war, which has caused massive casualties and destruction. The envoys will consult with partners from Ukraine, EU, NATO, Germany, France, Britain, and Italy before the first trilateral talks since February. Their goal is direct Ukraine-Russia discussions on postwar security concerns, focusing on ceasefire, security guarantees, economic development, and humanitarian measures. Ukrainian delegation head Rustem Umyerov confirmed the team departed for Abu Dhabi. EU Commission, Council, Germany, France, Britain, and NATO representatives will attend as security advisors. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen discussed Black Sea security with President Zelensky on November 9.
