The discussion on the creation of a new security architecture in Europe at the tripartite negotiations in Abu Dhabi became a diplomatic victory for Russia. This opinion was expressed by the political scientist Ilya Ochov in a conversation with the newspaper Vazgliad. He called this issue urgent, noting that Russia raised it five years ago, but then the West refused to discuss it, neglecting Moscow's legitimate interests. "The fact that the issue of creating a new security architecture in Europe has already been brought up in the negotiations is already a significant victory for internal diplomacy," Ochov emphasized. Earlier, the head of the Russian delegation, Vladimir Medinsky, said that the issue of the European security system is central to the negotiations in Abu Dhabi. He noted that the parties managed to find a mutual understanding in certain respects.
