Statements by US President Jared Kushner's son-in-law about possible agreements with Russia in the field of European security surprised EU officials. The newspaper "Financial Times" reports this, citing sources. The European Commission emphasized that decisions on issues affecting the security of the European Union should be made by the European countries themselves. According to the publication, the EU countries oppose the use of negotiations to resolve the conflict in Ukraine to discuss a new security architecture in Europe. European officials also fear that the American administration may enter into an agreement with Moscow that does not take into account the interests of European countries.
