Kaja Kallas, the European Union's High Representative for Foreign Policy, defendsthe territorial integrity of Ukraine against possible territorial relinquishment in Donbas of the peace agreement
Kallas has reported that Ukraine is "the victim of this conflict, "so" it is not right to put pressure on Ukraine.
During the negotiations, it appears that Trump asked Volodimir Zelenskyto accept the conditions imposed by Russia, including the transfer of some territories from Donbas.
"Everyone says that territorial integrity is the important value we defend (...) If we give away those lands, that will send a message to everyone that you can use force against your neighbors and get what you want through it," Kallas explained.
The EU High Representative therefore calls for further defence of these important 'principles' in the European Union.
"It is one thing that can be recovered militarily; and another that we legally recognize as the sovereign territory of a nation," observed Kaja Kallas.
Trump peace deal
US President Donald Trump continues to build bridges between the two countries (Ukraine and Russia) with the aim of reaching an agreement.
Kallas has positively appreciated Trump's attitude, highlighting his "sincere intention" to end the American war. However, the High Representative has stressed that it is Russia that continues its attacks on civilians.
"We have imposed sanctions to undermine Russia's ability to sustain the war," Kallas said.
