Donald Tusk reveals about the meeting with the Americans. "Late Yesterday"

"Late yesterday evening, talks were held at the military airport in Dublin with the participation of representatives of the USA, the UK, Poland, Germany, France, Italy and EU institutions. The Americans informed about the effects of the meeting in Moscow," wrote Prime Minister Donald Tusk on the X platform.

The meeting was a direct response to the visit of Donald Trump's special envoys to Moscow, where talks were held with Vladimir Putin on the conditions for ending the war in Ukraine.

American mission in Moscow

On Thursday, in the Russian capital, the US mediator in the Ukrainian-Russian negotiations, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner - President Donald Trump's son-in-law - met with the Russian president. After the talks, Witkoff told journalists that "Europeans will be present at the next meeting."

They are our partners and it is important for them to participate in this, emphasized the American negotiator. He also added that he and Kushner "are positive" and hope that "everything will work out."

Jared Kushner, in his post on Platform X, noted that "both sides have now agreed to expand the next round of negotiations to include our European partners." However, he did not reveal who exactly would represent Europe at the talks table.

Peace terms and next steps

Kushner stressed that lasting peace requires "credible security guarantees, incident prevention mechanisms and mutual de-escalation commitments that will reduce the risk of future conflict."

According to information from the American television CNN, Steve Witkoff said that the date for the next round of negotiations to end the war in Ukraine has already been agreed. However, he did not provide a specific date.

After the visit to Moscow, American negotiators went to Dublin, where - as Kushner reported - they met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and held consultations with national security advisers of Ukraine, Germany, Italy, the EU, France, Ireland and Poland. It was not revealed who represented Poland during these talks.

The meeting in Dublin was the culmination of two days of intensive negotiations in Abu Dhabi.

Russian position

After the meeting in Moscow, Putin's adviser, Yuri Ushakov, announced that the Russian leader supported the American proposal to solve the security issue of Russia and Ukraine by creating a European security system. Ushakov recalled that the Kremlin presented a similar proposal already in 2021, demanding, among other things, withdrawal of NATO forces from the countries of the eastern flank and exclusion of the possibility of NATO membership for Ukraine and other post-Soviet countries.
