The European Union (EU) does not intend to discuss a new European security architecture until the conclusion of a ceasefire agreement in Ukraine. This is what the President of the European Commission (EC) Ursula von der Leyen said at a press conference during a visit to Bucharest, TASS reports. According to the head of the EC, substantive negotiations on the future European security system can only begin after a ceasefire in Ukraine. She also noted that the leading countries of the European Union and NATO should participate in the discussion, and Brussels intends to insist on an appropriate format for the consultations. Earlier, the "Financial Times" reported that European diplomats intend to disrupt the discussion of a new security architecture for Europe in the upcoming negotiations between Russia, Ukraine and the United States in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates). The next round of the tripartite negotiations is scheduled for November 10-11.
