Russia and Ukraine to discuss post-war security issue
US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff announced a new round of negotiations on the social network X on Tuesday, November 3.
According to him, the meeting will be held at the working group level. The talks are being organized as part of US President Donald Trump's efforts to end Russia's war against Ukraine.
"The discussions will focus on post-war security, de-escalation, humanitarian initiatives, and next steps toward peace," Witkoff wrote.
The special envoy reported that American negotiators will also meet with representatives of France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and NATO in Brussels this week.
The dialogue in Brussels will address security guarantees for Ukraine, Europe's post-war security architecture, and options for economic assistance in rebuilding Ukraine.
Witkoff expressed hope to build upon the results achieved in previous meetings. He emphasized that the goal is to achieve a comprehensive and lasting peace agreement that ensures long-term security for future generations.
"We hope to build upon the progress made in Kyiv, Oslo, and Saint Petersburg toward a comprehensive and lasting peace agreement that ensures long-term security for future generations," he said.
In October, Witkoff met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Oslo. Following that, he traveled to Saint Petersburg to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The DW report notes that the previous round of US-mediated talks between Russia and Ukraine took place in February 2026. This occurred shortly before the start of the US and Israel's war against Iran.
