"the need for security guarantees" says Marco Rubio on post‑war security for Ukraine

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said President Donald Trump’s suggestion that the Ukraine war was near resolution and might require Europe-wide involvement likely referred to tentative movement on protections for Ukraine and the continent after combat ends. Rubio spoke as Washington prepared to convene Ukrainian and Russian delegations in Abu Dhabi on Nov. 10-11 for talks on stopping the war, postwar security arrangements and lowering tensions. France said European officials would attend, but Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov had earlier dismissed a European role, saying a three-party format had been agreed. Trump envoy Jared Kushner said U.S. officials had held substantive talks in Brussels with Ukraine, NATO and European partners on such protections. Rubio cautioned that no terms were final and that the Abu Dhabi meeting could produce progress.
