Kushner seeks direct Russia-Europe dialogue after trilateral talks

Jared Kushner announced he is working to facilitate direct dialogue between Russia and European partners, following trilateral meetings with Presidents Putin and Zelensky, according to a statement on X. Kushner said efforts now focus on preparing the agenda for the next round of trilateral talks, noting that "several new ideas" have emerged from discussions, some of which could "lead directly to progress" while others may produce new proposals to bridge remaining gaps. He reiterated President Trump's position that lasting peace requires credible security guarantees for Ukraine and detailed post-war arrangements, while emphasizing NATO remains essential to European security and that both sides understand practical compromises will be necessary.
