Abu Dhabi peace talks on Ukraine raise fears over Europe's future security

Peace talks on Ukraine in Abu Dhabi have shifted focus to broader European security arrangements, raising concerns that Moscow aims to reshape the continent's future on its own terms. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned against discussing security architecture before the war ends. Zelensky insisted Ukraine's NATO membership would determine future security structures, while Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal called such discussions a "mental trap" set by Putin. Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky compared a potential settlement to the Yalta and Potsdam conferences, demanding peace "on our conditions." The talks produced only a prisoner exchange agreement, with no ceasefire breakthrough. Russia continues attacks, launching 117 drones overnight, killing nine people. Moscow pushes for a trilateral Putin-Trump-Xi meeting in China next week.
