Ukraine, Kallas: ‘Trump's efforts are good, but we don't see that Russia wants peace’

Brussels, 20 October (LaPresse) – "We see President Trump's efforts to bring peace to Ukraine. Of course, all these efforts are welcome, but we do not see Russia truly desiring peace. Russia only understands force and negotiates only when it is truly in a position to negotiate. So, at the moment, we do not see that yet.‘ This was stated by the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs upon her arrival at the Foreign Affairs Council in Luxembourg. ’That is why we are discussing what more we can do. We expect to adopt the package of 19 sanctions this week. Unfortunately, not today, but we also have a meeting of leaders scheduled for Thursday. And then, what more can we do, also with regard to the shadow fleet? We are discussing with Member States how to better coordinate our actions regarding the shadow fleet," she added.
