Kaja Kallas: «It is obvious that Russia does not want peace... All the promises that Putin has made so far, he has not fulfilled»

The Russian Foreign Ministry responded that a meeting between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky is not planned, as there is currently no agenda

The head of the EU foreign policy department, Kaja Kallas, believes that the summit in Alaska was a PR jackpot for the Kremlin. «It is obvious that Russia does not want peace... All the promises that Putin has made so far, he has not fulfilled», — cites Politico.

According to Kallas, the Kremlin mocks the efforts of US President Donald Trump to establish peace in Ukraine. She reminded that Russia has not made any concessions in the negotiations so far, despite being the aggressor. She also emphasized that focusing negotiations on the transfer of territory by Ukraine is a «trap that Putin wants to lure us into».

The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that a meeting between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky is not planned, as there is currently no agenda for the summit. According to Lavrov, Moscow agreed to show flexibility on a number of issues raised at the meeting in Anchorage by President Donald Trump.

The Wall Street Journal previously wrote that despite the summit in Alaska and subsequent meetings of European leaders at the White House, there is no progress in ending Russia's war against Ukraine. The Kremlin continues military attacks, and Putin once again shows a lack of serious interest in agreements.

This week, Trump stated that Putin allegedly wants peace and is ready to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. At the same time, official Moscow shows the opposite, with Russian drone and missile strikes only intensifying, including on targets far from the front.

Meanwhile, despite repeated threats, Trump does not impose sanctions against Russia and is not in a hurry to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine. Senior Pentagon official Elbridge Colby directly told European partners that the US role in security guarantees would be minimal.

Analysts believe that without tougher steps by Trump — from secondary sanctions against buyers of Russian oil to confiscating Moscow's frozen reserves — Putin will continue to feel impunity.
