Ukraine, Russia and the US discuss post-war security system

According to reports from Kiev and Moscow, the discussions dealt with the exchange of prisoners of war and security guarantees for both sides and the rest of Europe.

According to information from the Russian state agency Tass, the talks, which will continue on Wednesday (11), address the creation of a new European security system for the post-conflict period.

“According to a source, the resolution of the Ukrainian conflict — an issue of critical importance — is just one point of a broader discussion, subordinate to the main objective: the creation of a comprehensive and indivisible security architecture for the entire continent,” Tass pointed out.

In a post on X, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, said that humanitarian measures and the release of prisoners were also discussed.

“The content of security guarantees for Ukraine was discussed in detail, as well as the basis for ensuring that such guarantees work in the long term. Concrete mechanisms are needed to prevent any recurrence of war. The need for measures to de-escalate the conflict was also addressed”, wrote the Ukrainian president.

Vladimir Medinsky, advisor to dictator Vladimir Putin, led the Russian delegation, while the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Intelligence Service, Rustem Umerov, was at the head of the Ukrainian side.

The United States government representatives were special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, son-in-law of President Donald Trump.

Also participating in the meeting, which lasted four and a half hours, were NATO’s supreme allied commander in Europe, General Alexus Grynkewich, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates, Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
