EU to host Ukraine reconstruction talks with US and UK

France, Germany, the U.K., NATO and the World Bank will join representatives from Washington, Kyiv and the EU in Brussels.

The European Commission announced on Tuesday that it will host crucial talks on Ukraine's post-war reconstruction and economic future on Wednesday. The discussions will involve representatives from the United States, Ukraine, and key European allies, including France, Germany, the UK, NATO, and the World Bank, along with other EU member states.

An anonymous EU official told POLITICO that the talks will cover security assurances for Ukraine, financial aid for reconstruction efforts, and other matters pertaining to the nation's future.

This gathering follows previous meetings in Miami and Oslo, where the same group of participants engaged in conversations aimed at achieving a long-lasting and sustainable peace in Ukraine. The EU will be represented by national security advisers and other high-ranking officials, though specific attendees from the American delegation remain undisclosed.

Earlier meetings featured European Union Chief Ursula von der Leyen's head of staff, Bjoern Seibert. The spokesperson for the Commission declined to confirm U.S. participants, citing the need to await further information regarding the involvement of U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff.
