Jared Kushner: Before the start of the two-day tripartite contacts surrounding Ukraine and Russia in Abu Dhabi, we - myself and the representatives of the Office of Special Envoys for Peace - will enter with our partners from Ukraine, the European Union, NATO, Germany, France, Great Britain and Italy. This will allow us to continue our close consultation and coordination on European security and Ukraine's post-war future in recent weeks. These will be the first talks since February. Based on our separate consultations with both sides, we seek to bring Ukraine and Russia together at the same table to directly discuss their security concerns, proposals and possible wartime solutions. We hope that these discussions will find common ground, identify practical steps and give impetus to the next phase of negotiations. Our work focuses on four related priorities: cessation of hostilities; developing credible guarantees and mechanisms after the war to reduce the risk of retreat into conflict; preparation of a comprehensive plan for Ukraine's economic development and prosperity; and implementing humanitarian measures to alleviate the suffering and hardships of war for people. @dimsmirnov175.
