Venemaa pakus ELi ja NATO riikidega Euroopa uue julgeolekuarhitektuuri

Miks see on oluline

Ettepanek võiks muuta Euroopa julgeolekuarhitektuuri ja luua eraldi Venemaa julgeolekugarantii mõnele NATO liikmesriigile. Samal ajal seovad läbirääkimised üldist Euroopa julgeolekut Ukraina sõja lõpetamise ja sõjajärgsete garantidega. Euroopa ametnikud не agree kes whethe r should discuss this before progress is made on a ceasefire, tа while the United States said it was open to such discussions.

Mis juhtus

At a security conference in Moscow, Russian Foreign Ministry foreign-policy planning department head Alexey Drobinin presented three options for a new European security architecture. The first was a collective defense alliance or bilateral mutual-assistance agreements; the second, political commitments not to support each other's adversaries in the event of aggression; and the third, bilateral non-aggression pacts. Drobinin said non-aggression pacts could be concluded with individual NATO members, which would then receive additional individual security guarantees from Russia.

Volodymyr Medynskyi, Russia's chief negotiator on Ukraine, said the new European security system was the central topic of his bilateral meeting in Abu Dhabi. He did not disclose the specific questions discussed. At the trilateral Ukraine-US-Russia talks held in Abu Dhabi on November 10, the first negotiating round covered security guarantees, Russian demands and the postwar future. The Ukrainian negotiating team reported the results to President Volodymyr Zelensky on November 11. US officials said Washington was open to discussing a broader European security architecture, while Jared Kushner proposed reviving the Russia-NATO Council model created in 2002 and suspended after Russia's aggression against Ukraine in 2014.

Ukrainian coverage focused on the possible non-aggression pacts between Russia and individual NATO members, the three variants of the proposed European architecture, and their connection to the Abu Dhabi talks. It also highlighted the position of European politicians who oppose discussing the broader architecture before progress is achieved on ending the war in Ukraine and reaching a ceasefire, as well as the emphasis on individual Russian security guarantees.

The proposal was attributed to Russian officials, with the Abu Dhabi negotiations providing the context for discussion of European security. The United States expressed openness to discussing a common European security architecture, while the possible revival of the Russia-NATO Council was presented as a parallel diplomatic initiative. Reported demands to reduce NATO troop levels to 1997 levels were treated as unconfirmed assessments by diplomatic sources rather than an established Russian demand.

Before the talks, the Kremlin said they would be held without European participation, but a European delegation attended. European participants said Europe would be represented, with France voicing its position. Separately, diplomatic sources suggested Russia might seek to reduce NATO's military presence in Europe to 1997 levels, potentially requiring the withdrawal of forces from Poland, the Baltic states and Finland; however, this was an estimate rather than a confirmed Russian demand.

Taust

The trilateral Ukraine-US-Russia talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10 marked a resumption of negotiations concerning Ukraine after an interruption since February. The first round addressed security guarantees, Russian demands and the postwar future. Alongside Russia's proposal, US special envoy Jared Kushner suggested reviving the Russia-NATO Council, created in 2002 and suspended after the 2014 Russian aggression against Ukraine. The proposed format would emphasize permanent security consultations, crisis communication channels and greater military transparency.
