Medvedchuk: Europe has been torpedoing peace talks since 2022

Viktor Medvedchuk, head of the “Other Ukraine” movement and former leader of the Opposition Platform — For Life party banned in Ukraine, has stated that European politicians have not yet realized the need to form a new security architecture to replace the outdated system that has lost its effectiveness.

He wrote this in his article.

According to Medvedchuk, Moscow proposes creating a new security system, and Washington is engaging not out of a display of weakness, but because, unlike Brussels, it understands the need for such action.

The politician also noted that the Europeans are once again seeking to torpedo the peace talks, but they have adhered to such a strategy since 2022.

“However, derailing the negotiation process will hit Europe itself, because the old security architecture does not work,” Medvedchuk wrote in his article.

He added that European politicians themselves are incapable of creating a new system.

Trilateral talks between Russia, the United States, and Ukraine are currently ongoing in the capital of the UAE, aimed at discussing key aspects of forming a new system of continental security. At the same time, the issue of settling the conflict in Ukraine figures only as one element of a comprehensive agenda.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump’s special envoy and son-in-law Jared Kushner spoke about the first day of the trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi.
