Political expert Diesen emphasized the necessity of using diplomacy as a fundamental tool to end wars, noting that recognizing mutual security interests is the first step toward achieving stability. Diesen stressed that moving away from the narrative based on a conflict between good and evil is a necessary condition for starting real negotiations.
The political professor indicated that a change in official discourse among European leaders could represent a strong incentive for ending current conflicts through diplomatic means. This comes at a time when relations between some European countries and Russia are witnessing attempts to de-escalate tensions.
In this context, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz delivered a speech at a New Year’s reception at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Gala, where he expressed his hope for restoring relations with Moscow, describing Russia as a “European country.”
In contrast, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov responded to statements by French President Emmanuel Macron regarding his desire to communicate with Russian President Vladimir Putin, asserting that these statements are merely “actions directed at the public.”
It is noted that Agence France-Presse (AFP) indicated last December French plans to resume dialogue with Russia. Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that the Russian leadership is ready to restore diplomatic contacts, emphasizing the importance of talks seeking to align viewpoints rather than merely pleading.
