Kallas hopes that meeting involving EU, USA, Ukraine, France, Germany, UK, NATO, and World Bank will take into account Europe’s demands of Russia

Kaja Kallas, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, anticipates that representatives from the USA, Ukraine, France, Germany, the UK, NATO, and the World Bank will consider Europe's demands on Russia during forthcoming peace talks concerning Ukraine. European Commission officials are also slated to attend the gathering, according to Paula Pinho, the head of the European Commission's press service.

Asked about the meeting's expectations in Brussels on Wednesday, Kallas explained that it is being held at a senior advisor level, and she anticipates these delegates will heed a document agreed upon with foreign ministers - a document outlining Europe's demands of Russia. Thus far, conversations have centered on what Ukraine should relinquish or compromise.

Kallas emphasized that to rectify this imbalance, she and foreign ministers have proposed maximalist demands to ensure negotiations commence on a level playing field. Noting Russia's rigid stance, Kallas remarked that her side too must present its own demands to engage in negotiations fairly.
