Outcomes of the Brussels round
US presidential envoy Jared Kushner described the Ukraine talks held in Brussels as productive and substantive. According to him, Washington held discussions with Ukraine, NATO and European partners on two important and interrelated elements of a durable peace: security guarantees for Ukraine and a broader European security architecture. He announced this on the social network X, as cited by Life.ru.
Goals of the American side
Kushner said that Washington seeks to take into account the security interests of all parties: the participants are discussing practical measures that would suit everyone and help reduce the risk of new clashes in the future. He named the main task of the American side as bringing the talks to a comprehensive agreement that ensures long-term peace. Earlier, before the meeting in Brussels, he indicated that the US expects not only to stop the hostilities but also to agree on reliable security mechanisms, which will help prevent a resumption of the conflict.
The next stage — in Abu Dhabi
According to Kushner, the US is already preparing the upcoming talks in Abu Dhabi: the American side is working with both parties to the conflict on concrete proposals in order to make the next meeting as substantive as possible and move toward a peaceful settlement. Thus, the Brussels round was devoted to the security framework with European partners, while the detailed elaboration of proposals with the direct participants of the conflict is being moved to the next venue.
