Zelensky Warns Trump Russia-Europe Security Deal Could Be Dangerous, Rejects Yalta 2.0

Analysis
Zelensky's public refusal of a Europe-wide US-Russia framework sets Kyiv against Washington's sequencing before the Abu Dhabi talks on November 10-11. Kyiv wants the war ended and Ukrainian guarantees settled first, while Trump's and Kushner's remarks point to a wider European framework running in parallel. European officials, including Kaja Kallas, reject any Russian veto over continental security, which gives Kyiv political cover but no leverage over the US agenda. The warning may instead be a bargaining move to secure Ukraine's seat and European backing, not evidence of a real US plan to partition Europe. The Abu Dhabi readout will show whether Washington treats the framework as a separate track or ties it to a ceasefire. Confidence is low: this rests on one interview account relayed by pickups, with no Russian or US readout of the proposal's content.
