EU to host Ukraine reconstruction talks with US and UK

BRUSSELS — The European Commission will host talks on Wednesday with representatives from the United States, Ukraine and key European allies on Ukraine's post-war reconstruction and economic future, Commission spokesperson Paula Pinho confirmed Tuesday. The meeting will bring together officials from France, Germany, the U.K., NATO and the World Bank, alongside representatives from Washington, Kyiv and the EU. An EU official, granted anonymity to speak freely, told POLITICO that the discussions would cover security guarantees for Ukraine, economic support for reconstruction and other issues related to the country's future. The meeting follows discussions held last month in Miami and Oslo, involving largely the same group of participants.
