High-level international meeting on Ukraine scheduled in Brussels

The European Commission is set to host a high-level meeting in Brussels on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, focused on the future of Ukraine. Participants include representatives from Ukraine, the United States, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, NATO, and the World Bank. Commission spokesperson Paula Pinho confirmed that the discussions will focus on post-war reconstruction and the country’s long-term prosperity.

The meeting builds upon previous diplomatic efforts held in Miami aimed at achieving a sustainable and lasting peace. While the Commission will participate at the level of national security advisors, the discussions are also taking place in the context of broader international mediation efforts. The gathering serves as a precursor to planned direct talks between Russia and Ukraine, which are scheduled to take place in Abu Dhabi on November 10, 2026, under American mediation.

European officials confirmed they are in contact with their American counterparts, including U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff. The agenda emphasizes the coordination of international support for Ukraine's eventual recovery and the transition toward a stable post-conflict environment.
