Negotiations on Security and Support for Ukraine
According to the head of state, the Ukrainian side expects to gain greater clarity regarding the documents prepared with the American side, as well as responses from Russia to diplomatic initiatives. Issues of security guarantees for Ukraine and the prospects for ending the war are gaining particular attention.
It was previously reported that U.S. Special Representative Steve Vitkoff and Jared Kushner, son-in-law of former President Donald Trump, plan to visit Moscow. This step may be part of broader diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict.
On January 6, negotiations of the so-called “Coalition of the Willing” took place in Paris, dedicated to a plan for ending the Russo-Ukrainian war and providing security guarantees for Ukraine. Steve Vitkoff and Jared Kushner joined the consultations, and following the meeting, the Paris Declaration was adopted. It envisions the deployment of multinational forces in Ukraine after the cessation of hostilities with the support of the USA, which should ensure reliable and lasting peace in the region.
