Ukraine war: EU foreign representative: Russia not interested in peace
US negotiators are making a new attempt at mediation to end the Ukraine war. Kaja Kallas expects little given Moscow's attitude, but sees at least one positive aspect.
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas expressed skepticism about an early end to the Ukraine war despite a new effort by US mediators. Kallas said Russia has shown no interest in peace and has made no concessions, instead escalating attacks on civilians. US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited Moscow and Kyiv over the weekend, but reported no immediate progress.
Kallas welcomed the visit, noting that it resulted in three days without attacks on civilians in Ukraine, and that Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin had announced a three-day pause in attacks on Kyiv during the visit. In return, Ukraine refrained from attacking Moscow during that time.
