The Europeans are showing a softening of their negotiating positions - they are ready to discuss the security architecture of the region without reference to the end of the Ukrainian conflict. Vesti journalist Alexander Khabarov spoke about it.
"If we talk about the European position regarding the negotiations, a statement was published on the website of the European Council according to which the Europeans, in principle, are ready to discuss the future security architecture of the continent."
This is a rather vague statement, the journalist believes. However, European leaders have previously argued that discussions on a European security architecture can only begin after the end of the Ukrainian conflict.
True, as Western journalists themselves estimate, perhaps this is a trick to obtain concessions from the Russian side, concluded Alexander Khabarov.
