Kushner Calls NATO-Russia Council a Model for Security Negotiations
Published
The Washington Post reports that Jared Kushner has described the NATO-Russia Council as a model for negotiations on security issues. The statement has drawn attention to a mechanism that was once the main platform for dialogue between Russia and the North Atlantic Alliance.
The NATO-Russia Council was established in Rome in 2002. Its task was consultation and joint action on a range of security issues, such as counterterrorism, drug trafficking, and threats linked to the proliferation of weapons. The Council operated on an equal footing, and all decisions were made by consensus.
After Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014, NATO suspended the Council's work. Following the start of military action in Ukraine in 2022, cooperation in this format practically ceased. Therefore, the proposal to draw on the Council's experience once again raises the question of possible ways of dialogue between Russia and NATO.
Specific details of Kushner's proposal are not provided in the available information. The question of whether the experience of the NATO-Russia Council will become the basis for new negotiations remains open.
