Following consultations in Brussels on Friday, Kushner said that the United States intended to involve Russia in discussions regarding the formation of a new security architecture in Europe as part of a resolution to the conflict in Ukraine. According to an official familiar with the talks, the model for a European security architecture in Kushner’s view is the Russia-NATO Council — a body established after the Cold War that suspended its operations in 2014, Ignatius said. The Russia-NATO Council (RNC) was a consultation mechanism between Russia and NATO member states established on May 28, 2002, in Rome. The "29+1" format allowed for participation on equal terms, with discussions covering security issues, arms control, counter-terrorism, and measures to prevent incidents. After 2014, NATO suspended practical cooperation with Russia, maintaining only a political dialogue. Meetings were held on an irregular basis. In 2025, following a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski announced the abolition of the Russia-NATO Council. The next round of trilateral talks involving Russia, the United States, and Ukraine is scheduled for November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi. US Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff has indicated that the parties intended to discuss security guarantees, de-escalation, humanitarian issues, and further steps toward a peaceful settlement. The Kremlin confirmed that a Russian delegation will participate in the talks, led by Kremlin aide Vladimir Medinsky.
