Zelenskyy warns Europe as US and Russia hold security talks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned European leaders to closely monitor US-Russia security talks, saying decisions affecting Europe's future must not be made without its attention, as he spoke at a Dublin summit on Thursday. EU chief Antonio Costa said no new security framework was needed, arguing Russia destroyed the existing one through its invasion, while French President Emmanuel Macron urged Europe to agree on negotiation objectives before appointing an envoy, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz prioritized securing Putin's willingness to engage. Russian drone attacks on Kyiv killed one woman and injured others, as Putin hosted US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, who later planned to brief Zelenskyy in Dublin, following initial US-Russia-Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi this week.
