‘The only way to get this done’: Why the US wants Europe at Ukraine talks next time
The truth is, it was never just about Ukraine for Putin. Washington now understands this – and that’s both good for Europe, and potentially terrifying as well.
ABU DHABI — Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law, detailed the outcomes of two days of peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, acknowledging the lack of trust between the opposing sides. The talks, which lasted for four and a half hours on the first day and two hours on the second, covered all the most challenging topics, including the fate of disputed territory.
While no significant breakthrough was achieved, a prisoner exchange was deemed the most notable outcome, though final numbers had not been agreed upon. Both sides expressed hope for future negotiations to include European officials, as they believed having Europe at the table would aid in resolving the conflict.
