Kallas Says Russia Deadlocked Warns of Moscow Trap
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas asserts that Russia is facing a military, economic, and diplomatic impasse in its war with Ukraine, with casualties mounting and recruitment faltering, indicating Russia’s inability to sustain the conflict long-term. Kallas cautions Europe against falling into Russia’s perceived “trap” of debating mediators for peace talks, emphasizing that the focus should be on substantive concessions from Russia, including an unconditional cease-fire and the cessation of civilian bombings, before any meaningful negotiations can occur. She also highlighted the ongoing U.S. war with Iran, stating that its continuation is detrimental and urging for a cease-fire and subsequent peace talks, with the EU actively engaging regional states in discussions.
