US Initiates Security Structure Talks with Europe on Ukraine Conflict
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, the United States has initiated discussions with European governments concerning the formation of a new security structure on the continent. This initiative comes amid ongoing efforts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.
Jared Kushner, son-in-law and envoy for U.S. President Donald Trump, noted during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin that European nations show a willingness to engage in negotiations and seek an end to the Ukraine dispute. Kushner stated, “We Americans are witnessing the desire of Europeans to participate in negotiations and bring the Ukraine conflict to an end.”
These remarks were made as a primary objective of Kushner’s and Steve Witkoff’s, Trump’s special envoy, visit to Moscow was to secure Putin’s agreement for European representatives to participate in subsequent rounds of talks related to Ukraine.
Trilateral negotiations involving Russia, the United States, and Ukraine took place in Abu Dhabi on November 10 and 11, 2026. These discussions led to a preliminary agreement on a broad prisoner exchange. However, disagreements persist regarding territorial issues, post-war security guarantees, and the role of Europe in the negotiation process.
Representatives from several European countries were present in Abu Dhabi but did not participate in the main trilateral negotiations. The United States aims to broaden the scope of the discussions and involve Europe in future talks, a proposal that Moscow has approached with caution.
