French newspaper writes that Russia is setting a trap in Abu Dhabi. Poland may suffer.
According to "Le Parisien", Russia is attempting to trap Western nations by expanding discussions in Abu Dhabi to include future European security architecture. The presence of high-ranking officials, including Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov, indicates a strategic success for Moscow. The article highlights that while Russia may offer temporary concessions regarding Ukraine, it seeks significant concessions from the West, such as military presence reductions in Eastern Europe. This diplomatic maneuvering aims to shift the focus from the war's end to renegotiating military balance in Europe, potentially framing European nations as responsible for any negotiation failures if they reject these demands.
