Zelensky warns U.S. security plan for Europe could aid Putin

latimes.com [$] —

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the United States has floated a new postwar security framework for Europe that he fears could benefit Russia by weakening NATO and reshaping the continent's borders. He warned that Moscow may use such discussions to revise European security guarantees. Zelensky told reporters Friday that the proposal is dangerous and should not be the main agenda, as Russia's President Vladimir Putin seeks to change borders in Europe. He reiterated that Ukraine will not surrender territory or commit to neutrality, and stressed that security guarantees for Europe cannot exist without Ukraine. Ukrainian forces struck a major Russian oil facility in the Samara region and an airfield in Lipetsk, while a Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia injured 22 people. Zelensky also accused SpaceX of restricting its Starshield satellite system in occupied areas, hampering drone interception efforts.
