Ukraine and its international partners will hold a new round of talks in Brussels on November 4 and 5 on a postwar recovery plan and security guarantees, Rustem Umerov, head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine, reported.
The European Commission will host the meeting, and representatives from the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, NATO, and the World Bank will attend.
Ukraine will be represented by teams from the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Defense, and the Presidential Office.
"This is a continuation of the talks held in Florida and Oslo aimed at achieving peace in Ukraine. Now, at the working level, we will take a detailed look at the proposals developed on postwar recovery, economic development, and Ukraine's long-term resilience," Umerov said.
The head of the Foreign Intelligence Service noted that on Thursday, November 5, a separate session will be held with representatives of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and NATO to work on security guarantees for Ukraine.
"Security, recovery, and development must be parts of a single plan for Ukraine after the war," Umerov stressed.
Earlier, The New York Times reported that the Trump administration is trying to persuade Ukraine to reach a peace deal with Russia that could involve territorial concessions in Donbas. In return, Washington is offering Kyiv potential economic benefits.
Umerov also said that unidentified individuals are trying to obtain information about Ukraine's new diplomatic initiatives and its talks with partners on ending the war.
