US President's special envoy Jared Kushner confirmed that President Donald Trump is determined to put an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine, which has caused heavy losses of life and inflicted massive destruction and suffering.
Kushner said in a post on the X platform: "We are working hard to reach a solution through negotiation to achieve lasting peace and create conditions for a sovereign, secure, and prosperous Ukraine within a more stable European security environment."
Abu Dhabi Trilateral Talks
Kushner added: "Before the start of the two-day trilateral talks with Ukraine and Russia in Abu Dhabi, I will meet with our partners from Ukraine, the European Union, NATO, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Italy to complete the coordination and consultations we have conducted over the past few weeks regarding European security and Ukraine's future in the post-war phase."
Priorities of the Solution
Kushner clarified that the work focuses on four interrelated priorities: ending the fighting and establishing reliable security guarantees and arrangements for the post-war phase to reduce the risk of conflict recurrence, preparing a comprehensive economic plan to achieve prosperity in Ukraine, and enhancing humanitarian measures to alleviate suffering and address the human consequences of this war.
Diplomatic Context
The trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi, hosted by the United Arab Emirates with US mediation, come within the context of diplomatic efforts to end the Ukrainian crisis and as part of attempts to advance the political track and end the Russian-Ukrainian war that erupted in February 2022.
Abu Dhabi previously hosted two rounds of trilateral talks in January and February of last year as part of diplomatic efforts to reach a political settlement. UAE mediation between Moscow and Kyiv has resulted in multiple prisoner exchange operations, indicating the continuation of humanitarian cooperation channels between the two sides despite ongoing military operations.
