Brussels, 29 August (LaPresse) – "In recent weeks, we have seen diplomatic efforts to end Russia's war, and it is clear that Europe wants peace. America wants peace. Ukraine wants peace. The only one that does not want peace is Russia. This is clear because Russia is responding to these peace efforts with missile attacks. Wednesday's attack on Kyiv shows how deliberate Russia's choice is to intensify and even mock peace efforts." This was stated by the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas, at a press conference following the informal Gymnich Defence Council meeting in Copenhagen. ‘President Zelensky clearly expressed his willingness to talk several months ago, but Putin is stalling by every means possible. Therefore, Ukraine needs to be supported by military objectives, and this remains crucial. The EU and our Member States have already provided over €63 billion in military support to Ukraine,’ she said.
