The bloc\u2019s foreign policy chief plans to \u201csupport Ukraine right now more than ever\u201d while Moscow and Washington negotiate<\/strong><\/p>\n

Washington has fallen for \u201cRussia\u2019s narrative,\u201d<\/em> EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said on Monday. The accusation comes amid recent efforts by Washington and Moscow to begin resolving the conflict.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf [we] look at the messages that come from the US, then it is clear that the Russian narrative is there, very strongly represented,\u201d<\/em> Kallas told<\/a> journalists in Brussels, stressing that the bloc is planning to \u201csupport Ukraine right now more than ever.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Kallas took office in Brussels as the EU\u2019s high representative for foreign affairs and security policy, replacing Spain\u2019s Josep Borrell in December last year.<\/p>\n

A pronounced foreign policy hawk who, while she was Estonian prime minister demanded in 2023 that \u201call business with Russia must stop,\u201d<\/em> Kallas faced resignation calls over revelations her husband held a 25% stake in a logistics company that provides services in the sanction-hit nation.<\/p>\n

Since the Ukraine conflict escalated in February 2022, both the EU and the US have implemented multiple rounds of sanctions in an effort to isolate Russia. The penalties included disconnecting the country from the Western financial system, suspending nearly all trade and energy ties, and freezing Moscow\u2019s foreign reserves\u2014a measure condemned as \u201ctheft\u201d<\/em> by the Kremlin.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the EU adopted its 16th package of Ukraine-related restrictions, marking the anniversary of the launch of the Russian military operation against Kiev\u2019s forces in February 2022.<\/p>\n

However, shortly after assuming office in January US President Donald Trump pivoted Washington\u2019s stance on Ukraine. Trump recently claimed that Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky is responsible for the conflict\u2019s escalation, and said that his presence at Washington\u2019s meetings with Russia is unnecessary.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, media reports emerged that US envoys to the G7 and the UN have pushed for more cautious language in official statements, suggesting the use of \u201cUkraine conflict\u201d<\/em> instead of \u201cRussia\u2019s war of aggression.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The first meeting of Russian and US officials in three years occurred last week in the Saudi capital of Riyadh. The talks have ignited a backlash within the EU with member states accusing the White House of reopening dialogue with Kremlin without prior consultation and sidelining Brussels from the negotiations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
