Europe alarmed by US-Russia security deal plans

European capitals have expressed alarm over the Trump administration's plans to negotiate a new "framework" for European security with Russia as part of a Ukraine peace deal, fearing it could undermine Nato and restore Moscow's sphere of influence. President Donald Trump met Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev at the White House on Thursday, stating any agreement would involve "all of Europe." European officials oppose using Ukraine talks to reshape continental security, insisting there will be no simultaneous negotiations until the war ends and rejecting any changes to Nato's presence. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy acknowledged Russia's security questions could be addressed but only with Europe's involvement, while a European Commission spokesperson said the EU must decide on matters affecting its security. The planned US-Russian-Ukrainian talks in Abu Dhabi next week are unlikely to yield a meaningful ceasefire, as Putin focuses on winter air strikes against Ukraine's infrastructure and demands territorial concessions. European leaders remain divided on representation, with EU summit discussions planned after criticism of their "disjointed" efforts.
