MOSCOW WANTS TO REDEFINE EUROPEAN SECURITY

Russia is seeking to broaden negotiations on the war in Ukraine to encompass a comprehensive overhaul of the European security architecture. During the talks held in Abu Dhabi under US mediation, Moscow aims, in particular, to challenge NATO's role and influence on the continent. This strategy is causing concern among Europeans, who fear being excluded from decisions concerning their own security. The European Union insists on the necessity of a prior ceasefire and rejects any negotiated agreement without the participation of Kyiv and the Europeans.
