The parties agreed to continue consultations in the near future and to prepare the next stages of the dialogue. In particular, another meeting of the leaders is scheduled for January 2026 in Washington.

The key condition for Ukraine to achieve a sustainable result is security guarantees.

"We are grateful to the President To Donald Trump, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner for their constructive work and involvement," Umerov summarized.
