On December 5, local time, the US State Department said that in the past two days, US Special Envoy Witkov, President Trump's son-in-law Kushner, and Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council Secretary Umerov and other officials have had “constructive discussions” on credible ways to promote lasting, just peace in Ukraine. The US State Department said that participants discussed the results of recent meetings between the US and Russia and steps that may help end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The US and Ukraine agreed on a framework for security arrangements and discussed necessary “deterrent capabilities.” Umerov, secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, reiterated that Ukraine's primary task is to ensure a solution that protects its independence and sovereignty. The US and Ukraine believe that real progress in reaching any agreement depends on whether Russia is willing to show a real commitment to long-term peace. The US State Department said that US and Ukrainian representatives will meet again on the 6th to continue negotiations.
