Kallas: Russia has no intention of stopping the war anytime soon

The EU is preparing a new sanctions package against Russia.Russia, as an aggressor country, is not going to end the war against Ukraine in the foreseeable future. This was stated by the European Union's head of diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, on Platform X. President Trump's determination to reach a peace settlement is key.

EU’s Kaja Kallas emphasised that even during the Alaska summit, Russia resumed its attacks on Ukrainian territory. She said Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is “still trying to stall and hoping it will go without consequences.”

“He left Anchorage without making any commitment to stop the killing,” the official added.

    Kallas was apparently referring to Putin. He (Putin) left Anchorage without making any commitment to stop the killing.

    This has nothing to do with Zelenskyyk or his authority.

      Yes, why should Putin make that commitment after meeting Trump?

          That’s the US perspective whereas EU says that Russia and US cannot negotiate about Ukraine without Ukraine.

          Now the meeting has ended with the US leaving the negotiation up to Russia and Ukraine. Why hold that up against Russia?

            There is no “the US perspective” or “EU perspective” here, it’s Ukraine’s sovereign power to do as they see fit, you seem to either be completely unknowing of the russian invasion or just trolling.
