European Council President António Costa holds Russia responsible for the deterioration of the European security order, as the United States explores the possibility of a comprehensive agreement with Moscow, according to L’Information. Brussels insists on the need to participate fully in any discussion that could reshape the balance of power with Russia.

European leaders are issuing repeated warnings against any attempt to redraw the continent’s security architecture without their participation. At the heart of these concerns is the war in Ukraine, whose consequences are disrupting the strategic balances inherited from the end of the Cold War.

The warning comes a day after Moscow opened peace talks on European security, and two days after the US proposed a new European security framework in Abu Dhabi.
