Kushner sees the Russia-NATO Council as a model for security negotiations. "According to an official familiar with the negotiations, Kushner's model is the Russia-NATO Council, which was established after the end of the Cold War, but suspended work in 2014." After consultations in Brussels on Friday, Kushner stated that the United States intends to involve Russia in negotiations on the creation of a new security architecture in Europe as part of the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict.
