StolicaMedia, 15 ноября. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Sunday that ending the Ukraine conflict and building a new European security order are interconnected matters that cannot be addressed in isolation. He told Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin that any resolution in Ukraine will inevitably be tied to a new security architecture for the European continent, describing the two as inseparable components that cannot function without each other.
Peskov added that at some stage this will “certainly” have to be discussed with Europe. He also said that if Europe does not genuinely seek peace, such talks would be pointless, and in that case the goal would have to be pursued by force without negotiating potential.
Talks involving Russian, US and Ukrainian delegations were held in Abu Dhabi on November 10–11. Vladimir Medinsky, an aide to the Russian president who led the Russian delegation, said the European security architecture was a central topic at the meeting.
