Zelenskyy warns U.S. security plan for Europe could weaken NATO and aid Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that a U.S.-floated European security framework could benefit Russia by weakening NATO and enabling border changes, calling such discussions dangerous. He stressed the plan should not be the main agenda for ending the war. Zelenskyy said Moscow seeks to revise European security guarantees, including NATO troop presence, and noted the U.S. asked if Ukraine would cede Donbas territory for NATO membership, which Kyiv rejected. He also ruled out Ukrainian neutrality, citing constitutional barriers. Separately, Ukrainian forces struck a major Russian oil facility in Samara, setting tanks ablaze, and an airfield in Lipetsk. A Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia injured 22 people, including children. Zelenskyy also accused SpaceX of restricting Starshield use over occupied areas.
