The US will hold trilateral peace talks with Ukraine and Russia in Abu Dhabi next week, the first such discussions since February, according to US special envoy Jared Kushner. Kushner stated that Washington has worked with both sides to develop serious proposals, focusing on practical agreements to address security concerns and achieve a comprehensive, sustainable peace. He also reported substantive discussions in Brussels with Ukraine, NATO, and European partners on security guarantees. The talks follow a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European Council President António Costa to prepare for the negotiations. The US aims to reduce the risk of future conflicts through mutually agreed arrangements.
