Kushner: US to Hold Trilateral Peace Talks With Ukraine and Russia Next Week

Jared Kushner, special envoy of US President Donald Trump, announced that the United States will host trilateral peace talks with Ukraine and Russia next week in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. They would be the first talks of this kind since February and could matter for efforts to end Russia's war against Ukraine. Kushner made the announcement in a post on the social network X.

According to him, Washington has worked with both sides to develop serious proposals intended to make the discussions as substantive and productive as possible. Kushner said President Trump has made achieving peace a priority, and that the focus is on the difficult, detailed work needed to turn that goal into a comprehensive and lasting agreement.

Consultations in Brussels

Kushner also reported substantive discussions in Brussels between the US delegation and representatives of Ukraine, NATO and European partner countries. They covered two interlinked components of lasting peace: security guarantees for Ukraine and the broader European security architecture.

He stated that the US is working intensively with all parties to find practical solutions that could end the war and lay the foundations for lasting peace. The aim, he said, is to address the security concerns of all sides through practical, mutually agreed arrangements that would reduce the risk of future conflicts.
