The European Union is concerned about US pressure on Ukraine to make territorial concessions in negotiations with Russia, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaia Kalas said today, quoted by DPA, BTA reports.
"This is definitely the wrong approach. "It, of course, corresponds to the Russian negotiating manual - they want something that was never theirs, and therefore we are signaling that this is a trap that we should not fall into," Kallas commented on the sidelines of the G7 foreign ministers' meeting in France.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told Reuters that the United States had tied its offer of security guarantees to the condition that Kiev hand over the eastern Donbas region to Moscow.
