MOSCOW, October 23. /TASS/. Russia managed to change the political situation in the world, proving the pointlessness of sanctions, so the United States, and now European countries, are moving from confrontation to dialogue, the first deputy chairman of the State Duma’s Committee on CIS Affairs, Eurasian Integration and Relations with Compatriots, Viktor Vodolatsky, has told TASS, commenting on the results of the negotiations on Ukraine in Oslo and St. Petersburg.
The Croatian portal Advance previously published an opinion that the resumption of direct economic cooperation between Russia and Slovakia indicates that dialogue with Moscow is ceasing to be a "political taboo" in the European Union. In addition, preparations are underway for the Russia-US-Germany forum, which could take place in 2027.
"Russia has changed the political line-up and balance of power in the world. Today we observe that those sanctions [which were initiated by the West], they do not produce any results. Naturally, first of all, the United States understood this and is beginning a more open dialogue with Russia on the resumption of political and, most importantly, economic ties. Forces are beginning to appear in Europe that say that it is necessary to conduct a dialogue with Russia. Various political forces, including state leaders, are increasingly saying this," Vodolatsky said.
Russian Presidential aide Yury Ushakov previously stated that President Vladimir Putin, during a meeting with the American leader’s special envoy Steve Witkoff, informed that Moscow is ready to resume trilateral negotiations on the 10th of November on the main topic, which concerns building a security system for Russia and Ukraine after the end of the conflict. Currently, Abu Dhabi is considered as the main platform for trilateral negotiations.
