Trilateral talks involving Ukraine, the United States and Europe began Tuesday in Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates, said head of the Ukrainian delegation Rustem Umerov.
Umerov, head of Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service, said in a post on X that "the first meeting will be held with representatives of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, NATO and the European Commission, joined by U.S. Special Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner".
Relevant parties will align positions and coordinate steps ahead of the next stage of negotiations, said Umerov.
This will be followed by a trilateral meeting involving Ukraine, the United States and Russia, he added.
The key priorities are to end hostilities, secure reliable post-war security guarantees, ensure Ukraine's economic recovery and development, and advance humanitarian efforts, said Umerov, noting that Ukraine is "working to make as much progress as possible on these issues and bring peace closer".
