Zelenskyy Says ‘Big Agreement’ Voiced by Trump Could Be 'Dangerous'
Zelenskyy said Russia could use a wider security deal to avoid accountability and rearm, while European officials rejected any agreement made without them.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with United States envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on Thursday ahead of next week's trilateral peace talks in Abu Dhabi, while European leaders warned they will not accept agreements negotiated without their participation.
- After meeting Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev, President Donald Trump proposed a "big agreement" involving Europe, prompting EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski to reject any arrangement between Washington and Moscow that excludes European input.
- Citing a record 54,000 Russian troops killed or wounded in October alone, Kallas warned that Russia attempts to "freeze Ukraine into surrender" through winter infrastructure attacks and stated "Putin does not have a veto over European security."
- Poland provided 8 million zlotys for generators and the European Union disbursed €4.36 billion in support loans, as Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha demanded security guarantees and an energy ceasefire for the upcoming Abu Dhabi negotiations.
- Zelenskyy rejected territorial concessions and criticized Trump's remarks regarding Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities, while Sikorski insisted negotiations must follow a strict sequence, beginning with a ceasefire before discussing Europe's security architecture.
