Ukraine-Krieg: EU-Außenbeauftragte: Russland nicht an Frieden interessiert
Die US-Unterhändler unternehmen einen neuen Anlauf in Vermittlungen für ein Ende des Ukraine-Kriegs. Kaja Kallas erwartet angesichts Moskaus Haltung wenig, sieht aber zumindest einen positiven Aspekt.
Vilnius - Despite recent efforts by US mediators, EU Foreign Representative Kaja Kallas expressed little hope for a swift end to the Ukraine war. "We do not see that Russia is genuinely interested in peace," Kallas stated during a visit to Lithuania. Moscow has made no concessions; instead, she warned, "When they lose the initiative, they bomb civilians from the air."
At a press conference in Vilnius, Kallas criticized the US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner for their actions. The US mediators had initially visited Moscow, followed by their first-ever trip to Kyiv. However, they did not report immediate progress. "I am glad that for the first time the special envoys also visited Kyiv.
For the Ukrainians, this meant three days without bombing of civilian population. I think that is the positive side of this visit," Kallas said. Russian President Vladimir Putin had declared a three-day pause in attacks on Kyiv, which Ukraine reciprocated by halting attacks on Moscow during the visit.
