The foreign policy chief of the European Union, Kaja Kallas, has warned against accepting Russian proposals for peace talks in Ukraine. Her assessment is that such a stance would give Moscow the opportunity to divert attention from its actions.
This would leave Europe in a worse position. According to her, the risk lies in the fact that Russia is trying to shift the debate from the lack of a ceasefire to other issues, including the European security architecture. “If you fall into that trap of starting to discuss the European security architecture, then I don’t think we are in a better place. In fact, we are in a worse place,” Kallas said.
The focus must be kept on the aggressor and the victim, she stressed. The aggressor has no concerns about its own security, because no one has ever attacked it. While it has attacked others.
