Kushner says US aims for broader security architecture in Ukraine peace talks

In brief

• Jared Kushner says Washington wants a wider security framework in Ukraine, not just an end to fighting.
• He says US negotiators are in contact with all parties under Trump's direction.
• Kushner praised Zelensky's team as constructive, but gave no mechanisms or timeline.

Beyond a ceasefire

Kushner said on X that US negotiators, working under Trump's direction, are in contact with all parties involved in search of a lasting peace (США работают над более широкой архитектуры безопасности, чтобы после окончания боев в Украине, война никогда не возобновилась - Кушнер – Zerkalo) (Кушнер розповів, якого миру США хочуть для України – UNIAN). He wrote that the focus is not only on stopping the war but on creating a broader security architecture so that hostilities do not restart once fighting ends.

Praise for Kyiv

Kushner singled out President Volodymyr Zelensky and his team, describing their approach as constructive and their commitment to further settlement efforts as valued by Washington. Ukrainian media reported that he also acknowledged Kyiv's efforts to find ways to end the war.

What it means

The statement signals that US planning is moving beyond a bilateral truce toward guarantees meant to hold after combat stops. Kushner did not outline the mechanisms, participants or timeline for such a framework in the posts reported so far.
