US Special Envoy to the Middle East Witkov: Before the upcoming tripartite negotiations with Russia, representatives of the United States, Ukraine, and European partners met and continued to work closely together to promote all the conditions necessary to end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and establish lasting peace, including strong security guarantees as an integral part of any settlement plan. The United States, Ukraine and European partners carry out collaborative consultations to reflect the shared goals, continuous communication, and commitment to Euro-Atlantic security. The participants emphasized that any future arrangement must respect sovereignty, territorial integrity and autonomous decision-making rights, and provide reliable security guarantees for Ukraine. The common goal of all parties is to establish a pragmatic and mutually reinforcing security framework, strengthen Ukraine's long-term security, and at the same time establish the necessary mutual trust to reach a negotiated settlement. The main focus of the talks was on lasting peace, and at the same time discussed how to continue work based on existing European security mechanisms and related agreements after the war in Ukraine ended. Participants further recognized the importance of properly addressing post-war security concerns and reducing the risk of conflict. The parties discussed how to establish an effective risk management and control mechanism to prevent the dangerous situation from escalating. The participants reaffirmed their shared commitment to building a solid post-war European security architecture and related arrangements, and made it clear that a strong NATO will remain the core of Euro-Atlantic collective defense. The United States, Ukraine and European partners will continue to work closely together throughout the negotiation process to jointly promote broader multilateral negotiations, including European partners, to achieve comprehensive and lasting peace.
