EU foreign policy chief Kallas: Russia is not trustworthy!

The EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has sharply rejected the latest demands from Moscow, in particular to stop Western arms deliveries to Ukraine. “These conditions are unacceptable,” Kallas said, underlining the urgency of support for the Ukrainian armed forces. She emphasized that such a step would massively limit Ukraine's ability to defend itself. How oe24 reported, Kallas emphasized in Brussels on Wednesday that the EU had not yet received any information about the relevant telephone conversation between American President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In the phone call in question, which reportedly took place on Tuesday, Trump tried to persuade Putin to agree to a ceasefire. However, the two leaders only agreed to a 30-day suspension of attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Kallas warned that such agreements, which do not offer real progress, are unsustainable. She pointed out that the information so far, especially from the Russian side, indicates that Moscow does not want to make any substantial concessions. “If you look at the minutes of the conversation, it is clear that Russia is not prepared to make real compromises,” Kallas continued News.de reported.

The situation remains tense as Kallas and the EU try to get more information from talks with Ukraine. This could be crucial for how the situation develops in the coming weeks. Kallas underlined the importance of a strong Ukrainian army as the best security guarantee in the current situation and that it is crucial to maintain military support to counter Russian aggression.
