European Commission says new security architecture must wait until war ends
The European Commission stated security architecture talks must wait until war ends, as Turkey offered to host negotiations and the IMF began reviewing financial aid for Ukraine.
Ahead of trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi between Ukraine, Russia, and the United States, European Commission spokeswoman Paula Pinho stated that discussions on a new European security framework should only occur after the war ends. Meanwhile, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed readiness to host renewed negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow in Istanbul.
On the financial front, the International Monetary Fund initiated its program review in Lviv and Warsaw, which could unblock a $1.67 billion tranche for Ukraine under the Extended Fund Facility. Concurrently, Germany disclosed it has provided nearly €101 billion in total aid to Ukraine since the full-scale invasion, including over €43.3 billion in civilian support, noting no significant misuse of funds.
