Нови санкции за Русија и повеќе пари за Украина
EU's Kallas calls for more sanctions on Russia
The
European Union's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, called for increased pressure on Russia after meeting with her EU and Ukrainian counterparts.
"To secure the best outcome for Ukraine and Europe, we have to stay the course but pick up pace," Kallas said.
"This means more sanctions to deprive Russia of the means to fight and more military and financial support to Ukraine," she added.
Kallas cast doubt on Russia's preparedness for a ceasefire, but said that pressure was pushing Moscow closer to the point where it will have to negotiate.
"Russia's summer offensive failed. US and EU sanctions are having a huge impact on the Russian economy," she said.
"Russia is losing cash and troops," Kallas stated. "If Russia could conquer Ukraine militarily, it would have already done so by now."
In an apparent reference to the original Trump peace plan that called for Ukraine to cede land to Russia, Kallas said: "The focus should be on what Russia, the aggressor, must do, not what Ukraine, the victim, must sacrifice."
She also called for the frozen Russian assets held in Europe to be used to cover Ukraine's financial needs in 2026 and 2027.
"It would send the strongest message to Moscow that it cannot wait us out, and we need to make this decision fast."
