In brief
A European diplomat called for a ceasefire, followed by security guarantees for Ukraine, before talks on a broader deal. The proposal reflects European concerns about concessions to Moscow, according to Le Monde as reported by UNIAN.
A European diplomat said a ceasefire should come first in efforts to settle Russia’s war against Ukraine, according to UNIAN’s account of reporting by Le Monde. Ukraine should then receive security guarantees intended to prevent renewed Russian aggression, before discussions move to a broader agreement.
The report described European concerns that the US administration could put a quick deal ahead of Ukraine’s security interests. Representatives of Germany, France and Britain travelled to Abu Dhabi to discuss the situation with American mediators, fearing Washington might offer Moscow further concessions to end the war quickly.
UNIAN’s account did not name the diplomat or specify when the remarks were made. The proposed sequence was presented as the diplomat’s position; the report did not establish that all negotiating parties had agreed to it or that the proposed guarantees had been granted.
