EU Must Be Involved in Any Ukraine Peace Deal, Kallas Says

EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas emphasized that any eventual settlement to end Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine cannot be implemented without direct European Union participation.

Speaking at a press conference following an informal meeting of foreign ministers from the Council of the Baltic Sea States and Ukraine in Warsaw on November 6, Kallas underscored that European security interests must directly inform any diplomatic resolution, Suspilne News reported.

European involvement remains essential across all phases, Kallas said, encompassing security commitments, sanction implementation, reconstruction efforts, and Ukraine’s integration into the bloc.

European security interests require an active position, she added, and the European Union stands fully aligned with Ukraine rather than acting as a neutral intermediary.

Any arrangement aimed at stopping the aggression must prevent Russia from using a pause to rearm and launch another assault. Kallas also called for an immediate end to Russian sabotage operations across Europe, stressing that concessions must come from the aggressor rather than the victim, according to Suspilne News.

The existing European security architecture, supported by both NATO and the European Union, must incorporate Ukraine directly, she said. NATO presented no threat to Russia in 2021 and presents none today, while the Kremlin holds no veto power over European security arrangements. However, Russia continues to breach the underlying international agreements that support regional stability.

Speaking at the same event, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski stated that the upper hand on the battlefield currently belongs to Kyiv, as reported by Polsat News.

During a joint press appearance with Kallas and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, Sikorski emphasized that any future arrangements for lasting peace and security must directly involve Ukraine and its neighbors on Europe’s eastern flank.

Sikorski made it clear that Western allies will continue to increase the financial and political burden on Moscow for its ongoing aggression. Addressing the prospective diplomatic framework to end Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, he stressed:

“No decision can be imposed on Ukraine without its consent and presence at the negotiating table. Just as the security of Europe cannot be subject to negotiations held without our participation.”

Highlighting the regional stakes, the Polish foreign minister noted that nations bordering Russia have a crucial perspective on the threats posed by the Kremlin, underscoring that Ukraine cannot be pressured into concessions while under continuous bombardment.

Signs of a swift resolution remain minimal, while Ukraine faces another harsh winter as Russia targets energy infrastructure supporting heating, electricity, and water supplies. On the battlefield, Russian forces remain stalled and unable to sustain current loss rates indefinitely.

While the exact timeline and terms of a peace agreement remain uncertain, funding remains essential for Russia’s ability to maintain operations, making energy deals with Moscow a factor that prolongs the invasion.
