Zelensky announces Brussels meeting with US, EU, and NATO next week

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced a high-level meeting in Brussels on October 27-28 involving Ukraine, the United States, the EU, and NATO's Secretary General. The meeting, confirmed by Zelensky in an interview on October 25, will shift from an American briefing to broad discussions on security and guarantees, with participants including the US, Ukraine at the presidential level, the EU, and NATO. This follows recent diplomatic activity, including US envoy Steve Witkoff's talks with Putin on October 21 and a trilateral meeting in Oslo on October 20. Russia's aide Yuri Ushakov said on October 25 that any upcoming Ukraine-Russia-US meeting would be preliminary, with low expectations.
