Europe fears that the US could enter into an agreement with Russia that would undermine NATO and restore Russia's sphere of influence. Financial Times According to the "Financial Times", alarm was caused by Washington's statements about the development of a new agreement with Russia, which may affect not only Ukraine, but also the whole of Europe. After meeting with Russian representative Kirill Dmitriev at the White House, Trump said that the future agreement will be much broader than the Ukrainian issue. "There will be an agreement, it will be a big agreement, and it will take care of not only Ukraine. It will deal not only with Ukraine, and I can even say that it can affect all of Europe," said the American president. Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, said that Washington seeks to develop mechanisms that will take into account the security interests of all parties and ensure long-term stability in Europe. However, European governments oppose the discussion of a new security system on the continent as part of the negotiations on Ukraine. They fear that Russia will try to regain its sphere of influence and limit the sovereignty of neighboring NATO countries. "The European Union itself must solve problems affecting the security of the European Union," said a representative of the European Commission. One European official called Kushner's statement a complete surprise and emphasized that negotiations on European security are impossible until the end of the war. According to him, changing the structure of NATO or reducing the alliance's presence are not included. Vladimir Zelensky previously admitted that Russian security issues could become part of a peace agreement, but emphasized the need for European participation. At the same time, he called the reduction of NATO's presence a sign of the alliance's weakness. Meanwhile, Kushner and US special envoy Steve Witkoff have stepped up contacts with Kiev, Moscow and European capitals ahead of talks scheduled for next week in Abu Dhabi.
