High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas<\/strong>, has warned against pressuring Ukraine to make territorial concessions to Russia as part of a potential ceasefire agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with BBC<\/strong>, Kallas emphasized that allowing Russia to retain control over Ukrainian territories is a \u201ctrap that Putin wants us to fall into.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EU official, who is on Russia\u2019s wanted list, highlighted the need for strong and reliable security guarantees<\/strong> for Ukraine. She noted that, so far, few concrete steps have been taken<\/strong> to establish deterrent forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe strongest security guarantee is a strong Ukrainian army,\u201d<\/strong> Kallas said, stressing the importance of guarantees that exist \u201cnot just on paper.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Kallas added that member states of the \u201cCoalition of the Willing\u201d must decide what they can specifically contribute, noting that the operational format of such forces remains unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the Alaska summit<\/strong> between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Kallas said that Putin \u201cgot everything he wanted,\u201d<\/strong> undermining his interest in negotiating a peace agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cHe was welcomed as he wanted, avoided sanctions, continues the killings, and increases them. Russia has made no concessions,\u201d<\/strong> she said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Kallas also mentioned that the EU is preparing a 19th package of sanctions<\/strong> to pressure Putin to engage in negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Trump set a two-week deadline<\/strong> to assess progress in the peace talks with Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIn two weeks, we\u2019ll see whether it goes one way or another. After that, we may have to take another route,\u201d<\/strong> he said in a telephone interview with Newsmax.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky<\/strong> questioned Putin\u2019s readiness for a meeting but affirmed he is ready to meet him in any format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kallas\u2019 comments echo broader EU positions: President of the European Council Ant\u00f3nio Costa<\/strong> stressed continued EU support for a just and lasting peace<\/strong>, while the European Commission<\/strong> reaffirmed ongoing economic pressure on Russia as long as the bloodshed continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EU and international experts agree that Ukraine alone decides the terms of a ceasefire or peace<\/strong>, though any agreement will require robust security guarantees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
