Officials representing Ukraine, European countries and the United States held talks in Brussels on Thursday about security guarantees for Ukraine, according to La Libre and Ukrainian government statements.
The discussions followed a meeting the previous day on reconstruction and recovery. President Volodymyr Zelensky said the earlier session involved Ukrainian, American and European representatives, alongside partners from NATO and the World Bank.
Ukraine has called for robust guarantees intended to prevent renewed hostilities after any agreement ending Russia's war. The Brussels discussions formed part of wider diplomatic preparations ahead of planned US-mediated talks with Russia.
Zelensky also spoke to American envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner about the planned negotiations, according to La Libre. No definitive security guarantee or new treaty was announced in the available reports.
The meetings continued against a background of Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure and calls from Kyiv for stronger support.
