Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner plan to meet with representatives of Ukraine, the European Union, NATO, Germany, France, Britain and Italy before the start of the two-day talks in Abu Dhabi, Kushner wrote in X.
He identified four priority areas of work, and also noted that the war in Ukraine is "a very complex and complicated conflict."
"President Trump is determined to end this terrible war that has caused enormous loss of life, destruction and suffering. We are working hard to find a compromise solution that will ensure sustainable peace and create the conditions for a sovereign, secure and prosperous Ukraine in a more stable European security environment.
Before the start of two days of trilateral talks with Ukraine and Russia in Abu Dhabi, Steve Witkoff and I will meet with our partners from Ukraine, the European Union, NATO, Germany, France, Great Britain and Italy to continue the close consultation and coordination we have done in recent weeks on European security and the future of Ukraine after the war.
These will be the first tripartite talks since February. Based on our separate consultations with both sides, our goal is to bring Ukraine and Russia together to directly discuss their post-war security concerns, proposals and potential solutions. We hope that these discussions will identify areas of mutual understanding, promote practical solutions and build momentum for the next phase of the negotiations.
Ultimately, achieving a comprehensive and lasting settlement will also require direct engagement between Russia and our European partners on the broader security issues that affect them. We hope that the discussions in Abu Dhabi will create the conditions for this engagement to begin in the near future as part of a broader multilateral process.
