The United States will hold additional consultations with representatives of Ukraine, NATO and the European Union before the trilateral peace talks with Russia, scheduled for November 10–11 in Abu Dhabi. The main topic will be the future architecture of European security and guarantees for Ukraine after the end of the war.

This was stated on November 9 by the special representative of the US President Jared Kushner in social network X.

According to Kushner, before the start of talks with the Russian delegation, American representatives intend to coordinate positions with Ukraine and key European partners.

“Before starting the two-day trilateral talks with Ukraine and Russia in Abu Dhabi, Steve Witkoff and I will meet with our partners from Ukraine, the EU, NATO, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Italy,” — Kushner reported.

He explained that the consultations will be a continuation of the diplomatic work of recent weeks. Their goal will be to coordinate approaches to the post-war future of Ukraine, security guarantees and the creation of a more stable security system in Europe.

Kushner emphasized that the administration of President Donald Trump is striving to achieve an agreement that will not only stop hostilities, but also allow Ukraine to remain a sovereign, secure and economically sustainable state.

According to him, Washington expects that the upcoming talks will help determine the common positions of the parties and move to discussing practical mechanisms of settlement.

At the same time, Kushner stated that in order to achieve a long-term agreement, direct contacts between Russia and European states will be required in the future.

He noted that broader agreements on European security affect the interests of not only Moscow and Kyiv, but also other countries of the continent. The American side hopes that the meeting in Abu Dhabi will create conditions for the start of such a dialogue within the framework of a multilateral negotiation process.

The US has identified four areas of peace settlement

Kushner outlined four main areas that Washington intends to work on together with Ukraine and European partners:

  • Ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia.
  • Creation of reliable post-war security guarantees that should reduce the likelihood of a resumption of armed conflict.
  • Preparation of a comprehensive plan for the economic recovery of Ukraine, including infrastructure reconstruction and investment attraction.
  • Promotion of humanitarian agreements, including the return of prisoners of war and civilians.

Special attention is paid by the American side to the financial needs of Ukraine after the end of the war. This concerns the reconstruction of destroyed facilities, support for critical infrastructure, attraction of private capital and creation of conditions for long-term economic growth.

In the sphere of European security, the US proposes to develop permanent consultations between states, reliable communication channels in crisis situations, military transparency and mutual measures to reduce the risk of escalation.

Kushner emphasized that existing European institutions and agreements should become the basis of the future security system. At the same time, new agreements, according to him, should take into account the sovereignty of states and their right to make decisions independently.

European representatives will hold separate talks in Abu Dhabi

The Ukrainian side also confirmed preparations for consultations with European partners.

On November 9, the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine, Rustem Umerov, reported that the Ukrainian delegation is heading to the United Arab Emirates to participate in the upcoming round of talks.

According to him, on November 10–11, representatives of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, NATO and the European Commission will also be in Abu Dhabi.

Umerov specified that consultations with European partners will take place separately from the trilateral talks between Ukraine, the USA and Russia.

“It is fundamentally important for us to maintain close coordination with all key partners, ensure consistency of positions and a common understanding of the next steps in the negotiation process,” — he emphasized.

Thus, the main negotiation format in Abu Dhabi will remain trilateral, and interaction with European states will be carried out within the framework of parallel consultations.

According to Euronews information, the European Commission will be represented by the head of the cabinet of Ursula von der Leyen, Björn Seibert, and the European Council — by foreign policy adviser to its president, Anna-Maria Bura.

The trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi should become the first since February 2026. The American delegation will be represented by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

Among the stated issues are security guarantees, de-escalation, humanitarian measures and further steps towards ending the war. Concrete agreements in these areas have not yet been announced.
