The conditions set by Russia show that Moscow does not want peace in Ukraine. This was stated by the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaia Kalas, to journalists before the start of today's meeting of European foreign ministers in Brussels.
"We welcome the negotiations in Jeddah. The ball is in Russia's court, the question is whether the Russian side wants peace," she added. The Russian conditions show that they do not really want peace, Kalas summarized.
She announced that there is broad political support for the proposal to provide military aid worth up to 40 billion euros to Ukraine. Many things need to be clarified, the opinion of the defense ministers is also needed, but the important thing is to decide to act quickly, said Kallas.

"We want to see if we can end the war. Maybe we can, maybe we can't, but I think we have a very good chance", the US president said.
