US calls for 'new' Europe security framework as Russia-Ukraine talks

US-mediated talks open in Abu Dhabi Tuesday. The Washington called for a "new" security framework on ending more than four years of war between Russia and Ukraine.

Jared Kushner, US envoy said "The hope today is not only to discuss the bilateral issues between the countries and how do we end the war and bring some good humanitarian relief, but it's also how do we create the right security relationships between Ukraine and Russia and Europe so that not only do we end this war, we create a new framework and a new understanding, building upon the different institutions and understandings of the past. We take what's worked, we try to identify what's failed, why we're in this position, and hopefully create a new framework that leads us for decades, if not centuries, of peace. Hopefully this becomes the last war that we have here."

Vladimir Medinsky, head of the Russian delegation said that Russia hopes that US-mediated-talks will help to make progress towards peace in the interests of the people of Russia and the people of Ukraine".
