Once the ceasefire is established, a formal ceasefire agreement should be concluded and will have to be thoroughly negotiated. Only then, once proper monitoring and control mechanisms are in place, can we start talking about a real peace process. There are many hurdles to jump before we get to that point.\"<\/em> She remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The diplomat stressed that the peace process should result in <em>\"new, broader security agreements that will have to go beyond the resolution of relations between Moscow, Kiev and Washington\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\"This is not just a bilateral or trilateral relationship - between Moscow, Kiev and Washington - but a profound transformation of the entire security system in Europe,\"<\/em> Kneissl emphasised. <em>\"This issue is on the agenda and Moscow has long demanded that it be addressed. Simply negotiating a ceasefire around Ukraine will not solve the problem because its roots go much deeper,\"<\/em> She added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this context, the former Austrian foreign minister pointed out that Moscow and Washington \"<em>Currently, there are very dynamic talks on this track, where Ukraine is one of the subjects of discussion, but far from the only one\"<\/em>. According to Kneissl, like Russia, the United States <em>\"they are beginning to talk about the need for broader regional security agreements, similar to those made under the Helsinki Accords in the 1970s\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, Kneissl believes that Russian leader Vladimir Putin's initiative to declare a ceasefire on the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War was <em>\"an important signal\" <\/em>on the way to resolving the conflict. However, it expressed concern that Ukraine might violate the ceasefire. <em>\"Who is able to control the truce?\" <\/em>wondered the former top diplomat. <em>\"I fear that the same thing will happen as in the case of the Easter truce. There were some hopes, but the situation is too complex to resolve the differences with a 24-hour or 48-hour halt in fighting,\"<\/em> She concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>gnews.cz - cik<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The peace process in Ukraine can really start moving once a technical ceasefire is established, former Austrian Foreign Minister Karin...<\/p>","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":26565,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,2973],"tags":[158,26,17,29],"class_list":["post-26564","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politika","category-zahranicni","tag-armada","tag-rusko","tag-top","tag-ukrajina"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26564","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26564"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26564\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26565"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26564"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26564"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26564"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
