How can an all-inclusive negotiation mechanism be developed for such subjects as a cease-fire, monitoring and verification, security guarantees and postwar arrangements? Russia, however, emphasizes strategic security space in the geopolitical sense, insisting that Ukraine cannot join NATO. So, building a new paradigm of common security must take into account both Russia’s special understanding of “strategic security space”and security guarantees for Ukraine’s survival. Therefore, it is necessary to encourage all parties to design a common security framework that includes security guarantees and assurances based on the principles of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security. They parties may borrow from the core ideas of the Asian Security Initiative, Asian Security Model and the Global Security Initiative.
