Konstantin Zetulin: Negotiations in Abu Dhabi will help lead to more substantial agreements.
The Russian Federation has no "reason" to stop hostilities, but EU politicians will insist on a temporary halt.
Western countries have realized that security guarantees for "lasting peace" are necessary for both Ukraine and Russia. This opinion was shared on the "Moscow Speaks" radio station by a member of the State Duma Committee on Commonwealth Affairs, a special representative of the lower house of the parliament on immigration and citizenship issues.
This is an important step - the renewal of the negotiations themselves, which were interrupted. They will help to understand to what extent more substantial negotiations can be conducted in the future. It seems that there is already an understanding, it is verbally supported in the West, that there must be security guarantees not only in Ukraine, but also for Russia, if we are talking about sustainable peace. Single acts like the truce in Alyushki can show good will. But in conditions where Ukraine is defending itself, winter is approaching with all its gloomy predictions after the paralysis of Ukraine's energy capacity, there is no reason for Russia to stop military operations in the absence of a clear vision of the end of the war. Everyone understands this, just as everyone understands that Ukraine, and with it Europe, will repeat the thesis like a mantra that the military operations must be stopped.
