EU’s Kaja Kallas emphasised that even during the Alaska summit, Russia resumed its attacks on Ukrainian territory. She said Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is “still trying to stall and hoping it will go without consequences.”
“He left Anchorage without making any commitment to stop the killing,” the official added.

In her opinion, the war will not stop until Russia “realises that it is no longer possible to continue it”.
Therefore, Europe will continue to strengthen its support for Ukraine, including through the preparation of a new, 19th package of sanctions against Moscow, the European official assured.

Kallas noted that European security issues cannot be a bargaining chip.
“The root of the war lies in Russia’s imperialist policy, not in the alleged imbalance of the European security architecture,” she concluded.

Kallas was apparently referring to Putin. He (Putin) left Anchorage without making any commitment to stop the killing.
This has nothing to do with Zelenskyyk or his authority.
Yes, she was referring to Putin. Why should Putin make that commitment after meeting Trump?
She’s saying Putin isn’t going to stop so we need to prepare for Russia to continue the war.
Yes, no question about that. The strange part is that she justifies it by the lack of Putin making a commitment.
Why should Putin make that commitment after meeting Trump and not after meeting Zelenskyy?
Nobody is saying he should’ve done it but rather just says aloud the *expected fact that he didn’t commit to it.
I think that sends the wrong signal. By bringing it up it suggests that it was a possible outcome.
I mean it was possible, just very unlikely.

Who had expected the commitment?Why should Putin commit to anything before a negotiation? If Putin is supposed to negotiate with Zelenskyy then the EU cannot have that expectation. If they do then they undermine their previous position.I don’t think anyone had that expectation.
The expected fact would be a commitment.
You’re right, I wrote incorrectly. I meant to say the expected fact.
Because that’s what trump wants. Are you paying any attention to this?
That’s the US perspective whereas EU says that Russia and US cannot negotiate about Ukraine without Ukraine.
Now the meeting has ended with the US leaving the negotiation up to Russia and Ukraine. Why hold that up against Russia?
There is no “the US perspective” or “EU perspective” here, it’s Ukraine’s sovereign power to do as they see fit, you seem to either be completely unknowing of the russian invasion or just trolling.
That’s why the EU shouldn’t make statements that suggest otherwise.
What about taking your own advice and shut it?
Soon. So you don’t have a counter argument?
