OREANDA-NEWS  During the trilateral talks, Russia, the United States and Ukraine discussed guarantees for the sustainability of potential agreements, the basis of which could be the formation of a new security architecture in Europe. This was stated by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, RIA Novosti reports.

"It is wrong to talk about restoring trust between the parties now. We don't put it that way. But I think it is possible to build something that would be functional, without illusions about what is achievable, and at the same time avoid uncontrolled escalation, taking into account yesterday's and the day before yesterday's discussions, if there is proper political will," the diplomat said.

Earlier, the head of the Russian delegation, Vladimir Medinsky, said that during the talks in Abu Dhabi, Russia, Ukraine and the United States exchanged positions on the issue of conflict resolution and the future of the security system in Europe. He noted that the parties had managed to find understanding in some aspects.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also called the idea of formulating clear parameters for Europe's future security architecture with a subsequent transition to discussing the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis absolutely reasonable. He explained that the conflict began due to Kiev's failure to fulfill its obligations in the field of collective security, and the West encouraged the sabotage of the signed agreements.
