The European Union has pledged its support to Ukraine in the event that it resists a peace deal that it does not agree with. The bloc's foreign policy chief emphasized the importance of involving both Europe and Ukraine in any peace agreement to ensure its effectiveness. Kaja Kallas, speaking at NATO's headquarters, cautioned against hastily reaching a resolution to end the war, labeling it as a 'dirty deal'.
Highlighting the necessity for transparency and inclusivity in the peace process, Kallas stressed that any deal should not be negotiated 'behind our backs'. She reiterated that history has shown that appeasement strategies are unsuccessful, affirming that Ukraine will persist in its resistance while Europe stands in solidarity with the country.
These statements follow a recent phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which they agreed to initiate negotiations promptly to bring an end to the conflict. The EU's stance underscores its commitment to supporting Ukraine's sovereignty and ensuring that any peace agreement is reached through a collaborative and transparent process involving all relevant parties.
