Europe wary of Kushner’s security plan with Russia

European capitals are reacting with skepticism to a U.S. proposal for a new European-wide security arrangement with Russia, fearing it could sideline allies and embolden Moscow. The plan, outlined by Trump envoy Jared Kushner, aims to address security concerns of all sides and reduce conflict risks. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Friday that NATO and the EU already provide a security architecture, and Russia should not have a veto over European security. Twelve NATO diplomats and EU officials told POLITICO they were not briefed in advance, with one noting Moscow could use talks to legitimize its arguments. The proposal follows President Trump’s meeting with Putin’s envoy and his talk of a "big, beautiful agreement" involving all of Europe. European leaders insist they must have a seat at the table, with working-level talks on Ukraine scheduled for Nov. 10-11 in Abu Dhabi.
