Europe invited Putin to discuss restrictions on missile deployment and conflict prevention mechanisms.
European countries are ready to discuss with Russia a return to the military conflict prevention mechanisms that operated during the Cold War, European diplomats have told the Financial Times (FT). In particular, we are talking about agreements that limit the deployment of certain types of missiles, as well as the Open Skies Treaty, which allowed the United States and the USSR to monitor each other's military facilities. A discussion of these issues may take place during the negotiations between Russia, Ukraine and the United States, which began the day before, November 10, in Abu Dhabi.
Earlier, a Reuters source in the Russian delegation said that ending the war in Ukraine is "just one of the items on the agenda" of the meeting, and the main goal of the negotiations is to fix the security system in the entire European continent. Interlocutors at the FT made it clear that European representatives came to Abu Dhabi to support Ukraine and prevent decisions regarding security on the continent without the participation of the European countries themselves. According to Reuters, the meetings were attended by representatives of France, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, the European Union and NATO. At the same time, Moscow did not announce its intention to meet with Europeans this week.
