00:00European leaders have firmly rejected any attempt by the United States and Russia to reshape the continent's security architecture without
00:09their involvement.
00:10It follows President Donald Trump's suggestion that Washington could be nearing a sweeping agreement with Moscow,
00:17something he calls a, quote, a very big deal involving not only Ukraine but all of Europe.
00:24The move has raised fresh concerns that the U.S. administration could be moving towards a security arrangement that accommodates
00:32Russian President Vladimir Putin's longstanding demands at the expense of European interests.
00:38We cannot say how and when Ukraine and Russia will strike a peace deal.
00:43We can say what it needs to be put into effect.
00:48Any agreement in order to be implemented will require the European Union to be part of it.
00:54The diplomatic disagreement comes as the Trump administration intensifies efforts to bring an end to the war in Ukraine,
01:02with U.S. representatives preparing for renewed negotiations between Kiev and Moscow in Abu Dhabi next week.
