Тэрээр Европын аюулгүй байдлын асуудлыг ОХУ-аар шийдүүлэхгүй байх, Украйны баталгааг хэлэлцээний төвд тавих шаардлагатайг мэдэгдэв.
Украйны Ерөнхийлөгч Владимир Зеленский АНУ ОХУ-тай хийх дайныг зогсоох хүчин чармайлтын хүрээнд Европын аюулгүй байдлын шинэ тогтолцоо байгуулах боломжийг хөндсөн гэж баасан гарагт сэтгүүлчдэд ярьжээ. Түүний үзэж буйгаар ийм хэлэлцүүлгийг ОХУ НАТО-г сулруулах, Европын хил хязгаарыг өөрчлөхөд ашиглаж болзошгүй. Европын аюулгүй байдлын ирээдүйг Европын орнууд өөрсдөө шийдэх ёстойг Европын удирдагчид мөн онцолж байна.
Зеленский АНУ Украйн НАТО-д элсэх тохиолдолд ОХУ-ын хяналтад байдаггүй Донбассын зарим хэсгээс цэргээ татах эсэхийг анх удаа асуусныг хэлэв. Киев газар нутгаа өгөхгүй, эзлэгдсэн бүс нутгийг ОХУ-ынх гэж хүлээн зөвшөөрөхгүй, төвийг сахих амлалт өгөхгүй гэж тэр мэдэгдсэн бөгөөд төвийг сахихын тулд үндсэн хуульд өөрчлөлт оруулах шаардлагатайг дурджээ. Украйн түншүүдтэйгээ НАТО, Европын Холбооны баталгаа, хүчирхэг арми, тодорхой хугацааны санхүүгийн дэмжлэг болон сэргээн босголтын төлөвлөгөө багтсан аюулгүй байдлын цогц багц хэлэлцэж байна.
Европын аюулгүй байдлын зохицуулалтад өөрчлөлт оруулах асуудлыг дайн дууссаны дараа Европын НАТО-гийн гишүүд шийдэх ёстой гэж Зеленский хэлэв. Түүний тодорхойлсноор дараалал нь гал зогсоох, дайныг эцэслэх, дараа нь Украйнд аюулгүй байдлын баталгаа олгох бөгөөд Украйнгүйгээр Европын аюулгүй байдлыг хангах боломжгүй. Тэрээр Путин НАТО-гийн цэргийн байрлал, тэр дундаа АНУ-ын цэргийг Европоос гаргах асуудлыг хөндөж магадгүй гэж анхааруулжээ.
Абу Дабигийн хэлэлцээнд Украйны тэргүүлэх зорилт нь эрчим хүчний салбарт гал зогсоох, Хар тэнгисийн хөдөлгөөнийг сэргээх, хоригдол солилцох, дайныг дуусгах удирдагчдын уулзалтыг бэлтгэх байсныг Зеленский мэдээлэв. ОХУ-ын төлөөлөгчид эрчим хүчний гал зогсоох асуудлаар шийдвэр гаргах эрхгүй гэж мэдэгдсэн бөгөөд Зеленский Москва энэ саналыг хүлээн авах хүсэлгүй байна гэж хэлжээ. АНУ-тай Москва хотод хийсэн хэлэлцээний үр дүнд тал бүрээс 1,000 гаруй хүн оролцох хоригдол солилцох тохиролцоонд хүрсэн бөгөөд тоо 1,200–1,300 орчим байж магадгүй; мөн Их Британи, Франц, Герман, Итали зэрэг Европын орнууд цаашдын хэлэлцээнд шууд оролцохыг Вашингтон дэмжсэн байна. Зеленский мөн ОХУ-ын эзэлсэн бүсэд Starshield хиймэл дагуулын системийн хурдыг цагт 161 км-ээр хязгаарласан нь Украины хүчин зүүнээс ирж буй Shahed дроныг сөнөөхөд саад болж байгааг хэлж, хязгаарлалтыг SpaceX тогтоосон байж болзошгүй гэж мэдэгдэв.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the United States had raised the possibility of a new security framework for Europe as part of efforts to end Russia’s war in Ukraine, warning that Moscow could use such discussions to weaken NATO and reshape the continent’s borders.
“In my view, this can be dangerous,” Zelenskyy told reporters Friday. “This should not be the main agenda.” His comments were embargoed until Saturday.
He said he believed Moscow was interested in reopening broader questions about European security rather than focusing exclusively on ending the 4 1/2-year war.
“(Russian President Vladimir) Putin’s desire to change borders in Europe is a fact. I am sure this is part of his concept of revising security guarantees in Europe,” he said. “This is dangerous because, in my view, it is precisely things like this that lead to wars or escalations.”
European leaders have stressed that decisions about the continent’s security must be made by Europeans themselves, warning against allowing Russia to dictate the terms of a new security order or negotiate NATO’s future.
US raised Donbas withdrawal in exchange for Ukraine’s membership in NATO
Zelenskyy said the United States had asked for the first time whether Ukraine would withdraw from parts of the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine that Russia does not control if Kyiv joined NATO. He reiterated that Kyiv would not surrender its territory.
Ukraine is discussing a comprehensive security package with its partners that could include specific guarantees from NATO and the European Union, a strong Ukrainian military and financial support for a specified period, he said. It would also include a recovery plan, he said.
“If the American side confirms precisely this to us, together with other NATO partners, then I will ask our Ukrainian society what it thinks: do we accept it or not?” Zelenskyy said.
He stressed that any arrangement would not involve recognizing occupied territories as Russian.
Zelenskyy also rejected the possibility of Ukraine committing to neutrality, saying that would require changing the country’s constitution.
“If Putin expects Ukraine’s neutrality to be enshrined, that’s not going to happen,” he said. “We’re not in NATO right now anyway.”
Zelenskyy says Europe must decide its own future
Zelenskyy warned that broader discussions about Europe’s security could allow Putin to seek changes to NATO’s military presence, including the withdrawal of American troops.
He said Putin had raised similar ideas with then-President Joe Biden in 2021, seeking a redistribution of power in Europe and the world.
“I think Putin will bring up Finland and Sweden. I’m sure he will raise the issue of Hungary and the presence of American troops in the Baltic countries,” Zelenskyy said.
He said any changes to Europe’s security arrangements must be decided by European NATO members only after the war ends.
“The sequence should be as follows: a ceasefire, an end to the war in Ukraine, and security guarantees for Ukraine,” he said. “There can be no security guarantees in Europe, or for Europe, without Ukraine.”
Energy ceasefire and prisoner exchanges are priorities
Zelenskyy said Ukraine’s priorities in the Abu Dhabi negotiations included an energy ceasefire, reopening the Black Sea, prisoner releases and preparations for a meeting between leaders to end the war.
He said Russian negotiators lacked authority to decide on several issues and that Moscow was unwilling to accept an energy ceasefire.
“At the meeting in Abu Dhabi, the Russian delegation said they didn’t have a mandate to decide this issue, but we can also see that they are unwilling,” he said, adding that negotiators had been told to resolve ceasefire questions directly with Putin.
Zelenskyy said discussions in Moscow with U.S. negotiators resulted in an agreement on a prisoner exchange involving more than 1,000 people on each side. The exact number was still being determined, he said, estimating it at 1,200 to 1,300.
He also said Washington supported Ukraine’s demand that European countries participate directly in future negotiations, rather than remain outside the main negotiating room.
Britain, France, Germany and Italy were among the countries represented at the Abu Dhabi meetings, Zelenskyy said. He expected between three and five European representatives to participate in future discussions.
Zelenskyy questions Starshield restrictions
Zelenskyy accused SpaceX of imposing restrictions on its Starshield satellite system in Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory, saying the limitations were hampering efforts to intercept Russian drones.
He said the system’s speed had been restricted to a maximum of 161 kph (100 mph) in occupied areas and that the limitations had been in place for five days.
Zelenskyy questioned the explanation that the problem was technical, saying the restrictions appeared to have been imposed by SpaceX despite previous assurances from U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio that Starshield was more under the control of the U.S. government.
“The current Starshield restrictions suggest that SpaceX imposed them,” Zelenskyy said. “That’s what our team is telling me. So this doesn’t quite line up with what we heard earlier. That’s why we need to get to the bottom of all this.”
He said the restrictions prevented Ukrainian forces from intercepting Russian jet-powered Shahed drones over occupied territory as they approached from the east, forcing them to wait until the drones reached areas where the limitations did not apply.
