Russia ‘pretending’ to negotiate on Ukraine while ‘bombing civilians’: Kallas

European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas voiced skepticism on Monday about Russia's willingness to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine. She argued that Moscow had signed numerous agreements supporting European security but had not upheld them. Kallas made her remarks while attending a Group of Seven ministerial meeting ahead of trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi involving Ukraine, Russia, and the United States, alongside officials from France, Britain, Germany, NATO, and the European Commission.

Kallas stated, "So far they have just been pretending that they negotiate because we haven’t seen any goodwill from the Russian side."
