US EditionRussia’s army should be curbed to end the war, EU’s foreign chief
Kaja Kallas urges peace deal to restrict Russia’s military power, citing Russia’s military budget at nearly 7.2% of GDP as a threat to European security.
- On Wednesday, Kaja Kallas said any peace deal should bind the aggressor rather than the victim, as European Union foreign ministers' virtual meeting joined a diplomatic flurry to reassert their voice.
- After the 28-point draft leaked last week, Europeans closed ranks to help Kyiv refine the original draft by US and Russian officials, but a modified text from Geneva high-level talks on Sunday met Russian resistance.
- European governments emphasised that Ukraine's armed forces, estimated 800,000–850,000, must organise freely, with Kaja Kallas saying `We have always said that it's a sovereign right for every country to decide the size of their military`.
- With Russia showing little sign of de-escalation, Kaja Kallas said the European Union would provide major contributions to security guarantees through funding, training, and defence-industry support, while officials report 'zero indications' of Russian goodwill and note Russia is ramping up its military.
- Kallas urged curbing Russia's army and military budget to prevent the war continuing, framing it as central to European security and warning that aggression invites more attacks.
