Ukraine, allies to coordinate peace efforts ahead of planned talks with Russia

The European Commission will host a meeting in Brussels on November 4 with representatives from the U.S., Ukraine, NATO, and European nations to discuss strategies for ending the war in Ukraine. This meeting aims to align positions ahead of upcoming trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi involving Ukraine, Russia, and the U.S. Discussions will likely cover a proposed prosperity plan for Ukraine and security guarantees. U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff confirmed that trilateral talks are scheduled for November 10, following previous negotiations that faced setbacks due to Russia's withdrawal. The talks reflect ongoing U.S. efforts to facilitate peace negotiations amid Moscow's resistance to ceasefire proposals.
