Ukraine Regroups With Europe After Moscow Talks Yield No Breakthrough

Two of Ukraine’s top security officials were expected to meet with European counterparts in Brussels on Wednesday to discuss the results of Tuesday’s high-stakes U.S.–Russia negotiations in Moscow, the Ukrainian presidential office said in a statement.

Rustem Umerov, secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, and Andrii Hnatov, chief of the General Staff, were slated to take part in the consultations, which follow a day after senior U.S. officials met with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“This is our ongoing coordination with partners, and we ensure that the negotiation process is fully active,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Wednesday in a social media post.

Following the Brussels meetings, Umerov and Hnatov were expected to begin preparing for additional talks with envoys from the Trump administration, Zelenskyy said.

The Moscow meeting marked the latest step in a diplomatic push that began after Ukraine and the United States worked to revise the Trump administration’s initial peace-plan proposal, first presented last month. Special envoy Steve Witkoff, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner met with a Ukrainian delegation in Florida on Sunday in an effort to craft a deal acceptable to both Kyiv and Moscow.

Witkoff and Kushner presented the results of those discussions to Putin during Tuesday’s talks. None of the parties has publicly disclosed details of the current proposal.

The Kremlin’s top foreign policy adviser described the hourslong Moscow meeting as “useful,” but stressed that no compromise plan had yet been reached on the most difficult issues.
