We must not fall for Russian narratives about "security concerns," Kallas says
NATO is a defensive alliance that has never posed a threat to Russia, and there is no reason to buy into Russian narratives about its supposed "security concerns."
EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas made the remarks in a post on X, Censor.NET reports.
Europe supports Ukraine
"These weeks are crucial for Ukraine. It was good to meet Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha at the G7 meeting in Paris," Kallas said.
She stressed that Europe would support Ukraine regardless of how the peace talks unfolded.
"Sanctions against Moscow will remain in place and will be tightened. We must not fall for Russian narratives about its supposed security concerns," she added.
Kallas noted that NATO is a defensive alliance and has never posed a threat to Russia.
"Respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity and the right to choose alliances freely are fundamental principles, not bargaining chips," she added.
Background
The previous day, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said that increased US pressure on Russia, combined with EU action, could bring an earlier end to Russia’s war against Ukraine.
