The United States is working to establish a lasting peace in the Ukraine-Russia war, with a focus on creating a broader security architecture in Europe. According to Jared Kushner, the US is committed to ending the war and ensuring that it never starts again.
What happened
Upcoming talks between the US, Russia, and Ukraine will take place on November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi, with a focus on de-escalation, next steps toward peace, humanitarian efforts, and post-war security arrangements. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hopes that these talks will pave the way for a future meeting at the head-of-state level.
Kushner appreciated Zelenskyy's engagement and commitment to finding a path toward resolution, and noted that the US is working hard with all parties to establish lasting peace. Zelenskyy had a 90-minute conversation with Kushner and US special envoy Steve Witkoff, which he described as "very detailed" and served as preparation for the upcoming talks.
The talks will cover security issues, including security guarantees, which can only be mutual, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Witkoff on October 21 and agreed in principle to resume US-mediated talks with Ukraine after November 10.
