In brief
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas called for a ceasefire followed by a peace agreement in Ukraine. She said broader talks on Europe’s security architecture should come afterward, keeping the focus on stopping the killing.
Kallas outlined that sequence on the sidelines of a European Political Community meeting in Dublin, LIGA.net reported. She said shifting attention to Europe’s broader security architecture distracted from ending the killing in Ukraine, and assessed that Russia had shown no willingness to end the war.
Europe already has a security architecture set out in international documents, Kallas said, citing the Helsinki Final Act and the Budapest Memorandum among agreements signed by Russia. The problem, in her assessment, was Moscow’s failure to honour those commitments.
She called for efforts to secure Russia’s compliance with its international obligations and guarantees that it would not attack other countries again. LIGA.net’s report did not specify a timetable for a possible ceasefire or peace agreement.
