Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of seeking to revise Europe's security architecture. He expressed concern that such an initiative, which had also been raised by the American side, could become dangerous.

Putin's intention to change Europe's borders is a fact and part of a broader plan to reorder security guarantees in Europe, Zelensky said. He warned that this could lead to wars or further escalation.

According to Zelensky, Russian President Putin had already proposed these changes to the then US President Biden in 2021. The aim, he said, was to redistribute military power and weaken NATO.

Key points:

• President Volodymyr Zelensky said the American side had raised the question of creating a different security architecture for the post-war world and for Europe.
• He expressed concern that such an initiative could be dangerous.
• The Americans had involved the Russians in these talks because Russia, at least in Europe, was interested in a revision of the security architecture.
