Zelensky: NATO, US, EU teams to meet in Brussels on Ukraine

The Brussels format is the detail worth noting: it folds reconstruction financing and security guarantees into a single table, rather than treating them as separate negotiating tracks. That coupling matters because reconstruction capital is where traditional finance and infrastructure investors take on country risk, and guarantees are the precondition most of them cite before committing. Whether the meeting produces a concrete sequencing between the two — and whether the participating teams carry decision-making authority rather than consultative mandates — is the open question.
