Ukraine Talks Need Europe, Kallas Says as She Criticizes U.S. Pressure - FINCHANNEL

Kallas said U.S. negotiators have pressed Kyiv to accept Russia's terms, while EU leaders argue peace talks need European participation and tougher conditions.

  • On Tuesday, High Representative Kaja Kallas accused United States negotiators of pressuring Kyiv to surrender on terms set by Russian President Vladimir Putin, stressing that Europe's support has prevented this capitulation.
  • Kallas explained that the European Union must present its own "maximalist demands" to balance Russia's requests during negotiations, arguing that the bloc independently decides on sanctions against Moscow.
  • The European Commission has mobilized €97.3 billion in assistance for Ukraine's military, including €77.9 billion through the European Peace Facility, while the EU Military Assistance Mission has trained 97,000 Ukrainian soldiers.
  • Separately, United States envoys Jared Kushner and Witkoff joined Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre in Oslo to meet with Zelenskyy at Ukraine's request.
  • Kallas concluded that the European Union is not providing assistance for free, aiming instead to ensure a lasting and just peace, as the bloc maintains that any settlement must respect Ukraine's independence and sovereignty.
