According to Axios, the request comes with a condition: Moscow needs to outline what it is prepared to do to reduce tensions and reassure Europe, alongside its own security demands. That opens the door to a wider negotiation, but there is still plenty of work to do before the two sides can move toward an agreement.<\/p>\n<p>There has been some progress. The Abu Dhabi talks produced a potentially significant prisoner-exchange agreement, and Witkoff and Kushner are set to take the next round of discussions directly to Putin and Zelensky on Thursday. However, European participation remains a sticking point. Washington wants Europe at the table. Russia continues to push back, while European governments remain deeply skeptical of the broader security proposal.<\/p>\n<p>The sequencing is another key hurdle. Washington wants the peace deal and security framework negotiated together. Von der Leyen wants the war ended before discussing a new security architecture. For markets, my takeaway is that the diplomatic door is opening a little wider, but the next barometer is whether Russia offers concrete concessions and accepts European participation. That would give the optimism a firmer foundation. Until then, this remains progress toward negotiations, with the difficult decisions still ahead.<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Greg Michalowski at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Axios is reporting:\u00a0 The U.S. has asked Russia to submit a new European security proposal that includes both Moscow\u2019s demands and steps it would take to ease tensions with Europe.
