Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, spoke about the results of the meeting with representatives of Ukraine and Europe before trilateral negotiations.
According to him, the discussions were held "in the spirit of cooperation between the US, Ukraine and European partners, which reflects their common goals."
The participants [at the meeting] emphasized that any future agreement should be based on respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity and the right to make independent decisions, as well as provide reliable security guarantees for Ukraine.
The overall goal is to develop a practical and mutually reinforcing security system that will strengthen Ukraine's long-term security and build the confidence necessary to reach a negotiated settlement.
The participants also noted the importance of handling security issues in the post-war period and reducing the risk of conflict. Risk management mechanisms and prevention of dangerous escalation were examined. The parties reaffirmed their shared commitment to creating a sustainable European security architecture after the war.
