A Ukrainian delegation, which will include the Secretary of the National Security Council, Rustem Umerov, and the head of the Ukrainian General Staff, Andrii Gnatov, will meet today in Brussels with the security advisors of Kyiv's main European allies, as announced this Wednesday by President Volodymyr Zelensky.
After the Brussels meeting, Umerov and Gnatov plan to travel to the U.S. to meet there with emissaries of President Donald Trump, added Zelensky about the next steps in the process of separate two-way negotiations with Ukrainians and Russians that the White House is promoting to try to end the war.
The meetings announced by Zelensky take place after US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met on Tuesday in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"Ukrainian representatives will inform their colleagues in Europe about what is known after yesterday's contacts from the American side in Moscow, and they will discuss the European component of the necessary security architecture," Zelensky said about Wednesday's meeting in Brussels. In addition, the Ukrainian president explained that Umerov and Gnatov will begin, after that meeting, to prepare another meeting with representatives of the Trump administration to be held in the US. Zelensky did not give a date for this new round of talks between Ukrainians and Americans. According to what the Ukrainian president said yesterday from Dublin, the main points of disagreement between both sides are the security guarantees that Kiev may receive after the war, how the reconstruction of the country will be financed, and whether Ukraine maintains or withdraws from the territory it still holds in its Donetsk region.
