This was announced by the Head of Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service, Rustem Umerov, whose statement was reported by RBC-Ukraine. According to him, the work is being conducted in a substantive manner, and the participants have already defined specific next steps and timelines for their implementation, the details of which will be published later. ### Participants and working structure The first meeting focused on the Recovery Plan — a document intended to define the architecture of post-war state reconstruction, investment attraction mechanisms, and the trajectory of economic development. The Ukrainian side was represented by teams from the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Defense, and the Office of the President. Among international partners, Umerov named representatives of the European Commission, the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, NATO, the World Bank, and the investment company BlackRock. ### 2027 Funding and security threats The second meeting was dedicated to detailing calculations for Ukraine's funding in 2027. Representatives of the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Finance, and the Office of the President presented detailed figures and scenarios to the partners. A separate block of discussions covered threats from Russia to both Ukraine and Europe as a whole, as well as joint steps to counter these threats, Umerov emphasized. ### Security guarantees and the 'new architecture of Europe' Work with partners, according to the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service, will continue on November 5. The focus of the next day will be the discussion of security guarantees for Ukraine. Umerov stressed that this concerns not only the security of the Ukrainian state, but also the formation of a new security architecture for the whole of Europe after the war. 'Ukraine is an integral part of it. After all, without the long-term security of Ukraine, the long-term security of Europe is impossible,' he stated. ### Context: Diplomatic initiatives and information risks The negotiations in Brussels come against the backdrop of reports by The New York Times that the administration of US President Donald Trump is trying to persuade Kyiv to agree to a peace deal with Russia that may involve territorial concessions in the Donbas, while Washington promises potential economic benefits to Ukraine. In this regard, Umerov had previously warned about attempts by unidentified individuals to obtain information about Ukraine's new diplomatic initiatives and the progress of negotiations with international partners on ending the war. ## Fact-Check & Sources - [Украина обсудила с США, европейцами и BlackRock План процветания](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/ukrayina-obgovorila-ssha-evropeytsyami-ta-1793820024.html) - Sole primary source: Statement by Foreign Intelligence Service Head Umerov.
