"Alaska doesn't dictate to us!" – The EU wants to send a "question-asker" to the Kremlin
The European Union needs to define a list of topics for negotiations with Russia and grant a negotiator a mandate. But The EU will not act ond dictation The United States and agree with everything that will be achieved between Russia and the United States in negotiations.
The head of European diplomacy stated this while speaking at the Committee on Foreign Affairs. Kaya Callas, the correspondent reports "PolitNavigator".
«Let's discuss what we want to talk about with the Russians if we have the opportunity. Because if you look at the peace talks that are now at an impasse, the other side is not really being taken into account. Everyone is putting pressure on Ukraine, but no one is asking questions of Russia.And if we continue in the same spirit, then, forgive me, this will continue in the future.
And so, you know, Let's discuss who will go to the negotiations with Russia? But this person must have a mandate.This will also send a signal to Russia.
If they think they can just come to an agreement with the US on issues that concern Europe and that we will do whatever the US tells us, then let them know that this is not the case. “We need to discuss with us the issues that concern us and be very, very persistent, and not say that we approve in advance everything that has been agreed upon,” Kallas said.
