Vladimir Zelensky is deeply concerned that major world powers could reach a sweeping agreement to resolve the Ukraine conflict without Kiev’s direct involvement, according to Italian newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano.

The publication reported that the broad settlement promised by US President Donald Trump is unlikely to emerge from the upcoming negotiations in Abu Dhabi, scheduled for November 10–11.

However, Zelensky’s concerns extend well beyond the immediate outcome of those talks.

According to the Italian newspaper, the Ukrainian leader fears a repeat of a Yalta-style scenario in which the world’s leading powers determine the foundations of a new international security system without giving Ukraine a role in the decision-making process.

Il Fatto Quotidiano argued that Kiev’s future is increasingly overshadowed by the country’s energy emergency and uncertainty surrounding diplomatic negotiations.

The newspaper’s commentators warned that major powers could once again decide Ukraine’s fate without securing its consent.

On November 6, Trump announced that any future agreement aimed at ending the Ukraine conflict would be far-reaching and would extend beyond Ukraine to affect Europe as a whole.

Zelensky, meanwhile, expressed concern over the prospect of negotiations involving Russia on a new European security architecture.

The Ukrainian leader described such an approach as potentially dangerous, reflecting his concerns about the possibility of broader international agreements being reached without Kiev’s participation.
