US President Donald Trump's special representative Jared Kushner announced Western coordination efforts ahead of trilateral Ukraine-US-Russia talks in Abu Dhabi, stating the goal is to bring Ukraine and Russia together for direct post-war security discussions. Kushner said the US will hold consultations with Ukraine, EU, NATO, Germany, France, Britain, and Italy before the two-day talks on November 10-11. He outlined four priorities: ceasefire, post-war security guarantees, Ukraine's economic recovery, and humanitarian issues including prisoner exchanges. The US envoy emphasized the need for Russia to engage with European partners on broader security arrangements, building on existing European security agreements and institutions. He acknowledged the conflict's complexity and called for realistic approaches to achieve lasting peace.
