Kaja Kallas, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, has said that in agreeing to peace talks, Russia is trying to avoid sanctions announced by US President Donald Trump, and it will not end its war against Ukraine until it feels pressure from the United States, said Kallas in a statement obtained by European Pravda, APA reports citing yahoo.com.
Kallas said pressure from the US president could change the course of Russia’s war against Ukraine, since Russia has agreed to peace talks in order to avoid American sanctions.
"Moscow hopes its offer for dialogue will help avoid US sanctions. But Russia’s history of broken pledges and treaties has created deep distrust on both sides of the Atlantic."
Kallas noted that "President Trump’s stance on Russia has hardened".
"US pressure on Moscow could turn this war around. Moscow won’t stop unless they feel they can’t continue," the EU’s chief diplomat stressed.
