Kushner talks about the condition for reaching a “comprehensive settlement” to the Ukraine-Russia crisis before the Abu Dhabi talks

Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump's envoy, said on Sunday that he will hold meetings including Ukraine and European partners to discuss European security and Ukraine's future in the post-war period, stressing that reaching a comprehensive and sustainable settlement of the crisis requires direct engagement between Russia and European partners regarding broader security arrangements.

Kushner published a statement on the

He pointed out that the tripartite talks, the first of their kind since February, aim "to bring Ukraine and Russia together to discuss their security concerns related to the post-war period, put forward proposals, and explore possible solutions directly."

He continued: "We hope that these discussions will contribute to identifying points of consensus, pushing for practical solutions, and building positive momentum for the next phase of negotiations."

He also pointed out that reaching a comprehensive and sustainable settlement requires “direct engagement between Russia and our European partners on the broader security arrangements that concern them. We hope that the Abu Dhabi discussions will create the appropriate conditions for this engagement to begin in the near future, as part of a more comprehensive multilateral process.”

Kushner pointed out four priorities that the United States’ work in these consultations focuses on, including “ending the fighting, establishing reliable security guarantees and arrangements for the post-war period that will reduce the risks of renewed conflict, preparing a comprehensive economic plan to achieve prosperity in Ukraine, and strengthening humanitarian measures to alleviate suffering and address the human consequences of this war.”

He continued his speech by saying, "This conflict is extremely difficult and complex. We are commanded to realize the scale of the difficult decisions that await us, so we engage in these discussions with determination and realism. We hope to achieve tangible progress, chart a practical path forward, and help create the appropriate conditions for establishing lasting peace."

US President Donald Trump said on Friday that he will hold meetings at the Mar-a-Lago resort over the weekend, which will address issues related to Russia and the war in Ukraine.

“We are working well with Russia and Ukraine. We are making great progress,” Trump said, repeating his claim that the two countries want “for the first time” to reach a settlement.

The president also claimed that the ongoing talks may lead to an agreement that transcends the borders of the two countries concerned.
