Kushner joins Ukraine peace talks as Trump seeks safeguards against Russian invasion

Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff will lead U.S. trilateral peace talks with Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, pushing a NATO-like security guarantee for Ukraine to prevent another Russian invasion. The talks mark the first trilateral negotiations in nine months, with both Moscow and Kyiv showing private flexibility on territorial disputes. U.S. officials seek an "Article Four and Five-like" guarantee, though President Trump has not decided on America's own commitment. The administration views territory and security as inseparable, aiming to establish a framework for broader multilateral talks involving Europe. Officials are considering reviving the NATO-Russia Council and using sanctions as leverage, with Witkoff and Kushner potentially meeting Putin and Zelenskyy soon.
