Europe Rejects US Security Plan Ahead of Abu Dhabi Talks
European leaders are pushing back against a broader security framework proposed by Jared Kushner, warning that Moscow cannot dictate the continent's future. The plan includes five objectives for a European security framework alongside security guarantees for Ukraine. Washington plans to continue consultations through the Shell Bay format while engaging Russia as part of peace negotiations. Meanwhile, the Kremlin accuses Europe of struggling to decide who will speak for it at future security talks, as officials prepare for trilateral peace negotiations in Abu Dhabi next week.
Why it matters
The European pushback highlights deep anxieties that a bilateral US-Russia understanding could undermine NATO and restore Moscow's sphere of influence. These tensions emerge as the Trump administration organizes upcoming peace talks in Abu Dhabi involving Ukraine and Russia. The friction exposes a stark division between Washington's pursuit of a broad security arrangement and European capitals determined to defend their sovereign alliances.
