EU rejects Putin's demand to redraw Europe's security order

The European Union has unanimously rejected Russia's demand to redraw the continent's security architecture, with leaders insisting existing agreements remain valid and that Moscow's non-compliance is the core problem. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas criticized Russia for failing to uphold current security accords, while European Council President António Costa stated priorities remain unchanged: a ceasefire, restoring Black Sea navigation, and creating conditions for peace. Costa rejected any redesign of continental security, citing the 1975 Helsinki Final Act principles. US envoys traveled to Moscow to push for European representation at negotiations, but the EU remains divided over who should speak for the bloc. Kallas has proposed herself for the role, while France and Germany advocate for the E3 format.
