EU rejects Trump's security deal as US-Russia talks take center stage

European leaders have rejected a proposed US-Russia security deal that would reshape Europe's security architecture without their involvement, following President Trump's announcement of a potential "big, beautiful" agreement extending beyond Ukraine to all of Europe. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas stated that Europe already has a security framework and that Russia has no veto over European security, while Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski called any deal made without European participation "impossible." Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha emphasized the need to protect Europe from Russian aggression rather than negotiate spheres of influence. The dispute comes as Washington prepares for trilateral peace talks with Ukraine and Russia in Abu Dhabi next week. Trump's envoy Jared Kushner outlined plans for a broader European security architecture, though European officials insist they must have a direct role in any negotiations affecting the continent's future.
