The European Commission hosted talks on Ukraine in Brussels on November 4, bringing together representatives from the U.S., Ukraine, NATO and several European countries to coordinate positions ahead of the next round of trilateral talks between Ukraine, Russia and the U.S., the report said. The trilateral meeting is scheduled for November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi.
A separate meeting in Brussels brought together Ukraine, Germany, France, the U.K., the U.S., NATO and the World Bank to discuss Ukraine's post-war reconstruction and prosperity, following up on earlier talks in Miami. "The work today and going forward is focused on refining the scenarios for Ukraine's post-war economic development and prosperity," the Commission's press release said.
The Brussels meeting comes as Washington pushes to bring Ukrainian and Russian representatives together for another round of peace negotiations. The trilateral meeting was initially expected in October, after U.S. President Donald Trump's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited Ukraine and Russia. Those visits produced an agreement in principle to hold negotiations, but the Kremlin later declined to participate.
Moscow has repeatedly rejected Western-backed proposals for a full and unconditional ceasefire, which Kyiv has supported, while continuing to demand that Ukraine cede Donbas.
