Moscow and Kyiv agree to bring Europe into Ukraine talks

After three days of negotiations, Moscow and Kyiv have agreed to include European countries in the next round of Ukraine peace talks, according to US special envoy Jared Kushner. Preparations for a large-scale prisoner exchange are also underway. Kushner announced the agreement on social media early Friday, November 13, following talks held from November 10-12 in Abu Dhabi, Moscow, and Dublin. US negotiators met with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, alongside security advisors from several European nations. The expanded talks will address broader post-war European security arrangements alongside territorial issues. Kushner stated that no wider European security agreements will be made without considering Ukraine's security concerns.
