The member states of the European Union are divided regarding the position of the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, according to which it is necessary to prepare for potential talks with Russia on a future European security architecture, Bloomberg reported, citing sources.
According to the sources, von der Leyen and some European leaders are privately insisting that the EU show its willingness to talk to keep the US and Russia involved. Others have sharply criticized the idea, both publicly and privately, repeating demands that there must be a ceasefire before talks can begin.
