The United States invited Russia to prepare a draft agreement for security in Europe. American negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner asked Moscow to define its demands in a document and outline symmetrical reciprocal measures that could reduce tensions.
The initiative enables the participation of European countries in the discussion of future agreements. It is proposed to discuss European security not only in the Russian-American format. At the same time, we are still talking about preparing a project and agreeing on positions, and not about a closed agreement.
Washington also linked the possible implementation of the document with the settlement of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Even if the parties agree on the content of a future agreement, its implementation should begin only after the resolution of this dispute. Therefore, the negotiation process is divided into two stages: first, the formulation of mutual demands with the participation of Europe, and then - practical steps to reduce tensions.
