Zelenskyy says a new European security framework floated by U.S. could benefit Putin
European leaders have stressed that decisions about the continent's security must be made by Europeans themselves, warning against allowing Russia to dictate the terms of a new security order or negotiate NATO's future.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed concerns that a proposed new European security framework proposed by the United States may be used by Russia to weaken NATO and redraw the continent's borders. Zelenskyy stated that such discussions could be dangerous and should not be the primary focus of efforts to end Russia's four-and-a-half-year war in Ukraine.
He said that Russian President Vladimir Putin is interested in reopening broader questions about European security, with the aim of revising security guarantees across the continent. Zelenskyy warned that this could lead to wars or escalations, as it would allow Russia to dictate the terms of a new security order or negotiate NATO's future.
