Trump predicts 'very big' Russia deal covering all of Europe; Kremlin and Zelenskyy push back

President Trump announced a "very big" deal with Russia that could encompass "all of Europe," following an unannounced White House meeting with Kremlin adviser Kirill Dmitriev. Trump provided no details but predicted a "big, beautiful agreement." Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the proposal "dangerous," insisting discussions must first address ending the war and securing guarantees for Ukraine before any broader European security architecture. The Kremlin dampened expectations, saying Europe has shown no readiness to discuss a future security system and has not named a negotiator. A trilateral meeting between Kyiv, Moscow, and Washington is set for next week in Abu Dhabi. Trump has repeatedly promised a quick end to the war without success, while Russia maintains maximalist demands including full control of the Donbas and a rollback of NATO.
