US presidential special envoy Jared Kushner said he is working with all sides and praised Ukraine's constructive engagement on the path to peace. Trilateral talks between the US, Ukraine and Russia are planned for 10–11 November in the United Arab Emirates.
Jared Kushner, a special envoy of the US president, said on the social network X that he is working with all parties to find a way to end Russia's war against Ukraine, and praised the "constructive engagement" of the Ukrainian team. His comment came in response to a post by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as reported by the Ukrainian outlet Pravda.
Kushner shared Zelensky's post and added his own remarks. He stressed that the US side, together with all involved parties, is working to find a path to lasting peace. According to him, the focus is not only on ending the war but also on building a broader security architecture, so that hostilities never resume once they have stopped.
