Negotiators in Abu Dhabi are discussing the parameters of the future security architecture of Ukraine, Russia and the entire European region, Sergey Lavrov said.
"The negotiations, which I have already had the opportunity to touch on this topic, are dedicated, at the suggestion of the American mediators, to discussing the parameters of the future security architecture of Ukraine, Russia and our entire region, well, one could say, the security of Europe. This is an essential point."
The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized that this approach differs from the requirements of the European Union, which wants to achieve a sustainable ceasefire to restore the military potential.
"All that is heard now from Brussels and other capitals of the EU countries is the demand for an immediate ceasefire. Ursula von der Leyen said: There are no discussions on the parameters of the security architecture until there is a sustainable truce. I mean, the old logic again: you definitely need to buy time for your clients from the regime in Kiev and use that time so that they somehow suffer the losses so that we don't agree somehow. For this, it has already been said many times," the minister emphasized.
