Russia is simply not interested in peace. We need to keep up pressure, - Kallas
Russia is currently not interested in ending the war in Ukraine.
This was stated by the EU High Representative Kaja Kallas, Censor.NET reports citing The Guardian.
Callas called the night attack on the Ukrainian capital "one of the most destructive air strikes on Kyiv during the war."
"Russia remains relentless in its attacks targeting civilians and continues to wage war. This is another sign that Russia is simply not interested in peace. That is why we must keep up the pressure," Kallas said.
In particular, Kallas supported lowering the ceiling on the price of Russian oil and opposed Russia's role as a mediator in any conflict.
"As long as we see such actions, it is not a mediator that can be realistically considered," Kallas explained.
