The United States has requested that Russia present a new proposal for a future security agreement with Europe. This initiative, reported by Axios citing two informed sources, is linked to ongoing efforts to negotiate a peace deal for Ukraine. The US is seeking concrete steps from Moscow aimed at reducing tensions on the continent. Trump administration envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were scheduled to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow to discuss this request. The proposal is part of a broader strategy that aims to simultaneously negotiate a new security architecture between Europe and Russia and a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. However, European leaders have expressed skepticism about the US initiative. Some reports indicate that European officials, while agreeing to work on both tracks in parallel, stressed that final decisions on European security would only be made after the war in Ukraine concludes. Russia has for years sought a European security agreement that would limit NATO expansion and reduce the alliance's military presence in Eastern Europe. ## Disagreement on European Leaders' Stance While multiple outlets report European leaders expressed skepticism about the US initiative, unn.ua, citing an informed source, states that European officials present in Abu Dhabi agreed to work on both security and peace tracks in parallel, while emphasizing that final decisions would be made only after the war in Ukraine ends. This contrasts with the general reporting of skepticism. ## What the coverage left out None of the left-rated reports mention the planned meeting between Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff with President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. The centre-rated reports do not mention the specific details of the negotiations in Abu Dhabi, such as the agreement on a prisoner exchange or the tense atmosphere during discussions. ## Who covered it Shares of the 12 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 17% (2) - Centre: 25% (3) - Right: 58% (7) 23 of 35 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages. Coverage measured 2026-11-12T03:45:27.269795+00:00. **Coverage watch:** developing. Checked 2 times; 0 checks found a material change. Most recently checked 2026-11-12T04:15:33.279Z. ## How the sides framed it ### Left - The left-rated reports focused on the US request for Russia to draft a new security proposal for Europe, including steps to reduce tensions. Both unn.ua and fakti.bg highlighted that this request was part of talks in Abu Dhabi and that the US envoys, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, were to meet with President Putin. unn.ua also detailed that the US made it clear to European countries that they would not agree to a security deal with Russia without Europe and Ukraine's support, and that the US would not grant Russia veto power over European security issues. The full report from unn.ua also noted that Russia has long sought an agreement limiting NATO expansion. ### Centre - The centre-rated reports from Digi 24, ANSA, and Political Wire all led with the US asking Russia to present a new proposal for a future security agreement with Europe. They noted that this request includes measures from Moscow to ease tensions. Digi 24 and Political Wire mentioned that Russia has sought such a deal for years, which would limit NATO expansion, and that the US, while previously rejecting these demands, now appears willing to consider them as part of a broader agreement to end the war in Ukraine. All three reports mentioned the planned meeting between Trump administration envoys Kushner and Witkoff and President Putin in Moscow. ### Right - The right-rated reports from topwar.ru, Korrespondent.net, Reformatorisch Dagblad, dagelijksestandaard.nl, Yle, Interfax.ru, and news-pravda.com all highlighted the US request for Russia to submit a new proposal for a European security agreement. Several reports, including topwar.ru and news-pravda.com, noted that the proposal should include concrete steps from Russia to reduce tensions. Korrespondent.net mentioned that Trump's special representatives planned to persuade Russia to allow European representatives into the next round of negotiations. Yle's headline questioned if the US was paving the way for Russia's long-awaited security agreement as part of the Ukraine war agreement. Interfax.ru stated that the US envoys asked the Russian side to formulate its vision for the future architecture of European security. **Provisional coverage gap:** left.
