Trump Envoys Aim to Persuade Russia to Include Europe in Negotiations on Ending War with Ukraine
U.S. envoys will discuss security guarantees and a wider peace framework as Russia resists European participation in the negotiations.
- U.S. President Donald Trump's aides Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are meeting officials from Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, NATO, and the European Union in the United Arab Emirates ahead of negotiations with Russian and Ukrainian officials on Tuesday and Wednesday.
- Russia has resisted European participation in negotiations, insisting talks proceed strictly as a trilateral format involving Russia, Ukraine, and the United States. The White House believes Europe must be at the table to end nearly five years of war.
- Amid ongoing violence, President Trump claimed in a "60 Minutes" interview that aired Sunday that Moscow and Kyiv are "very close" to a deal, despite tremendous hatred between Putin and Zelenskyy. Russia continued targeting Ukraine's power grid on Monday.
- Security guarantees and long-term architecture between Russia and Europe remain the primary focus. Ukraine's lead negotiator Rustem Umerov confirmed European officials will hold "separate coordination" with Kyiv, a method Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov acknowledged.
- If the Abu Dhabi meetings succeed this week, Witkoff and Kushner could soon travel to Moscow and Kyiv to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, nine months after the last three-way meeting in Geneva.
