The EU's Top Diplomat Has Outlined the Security Guarantees to Ukraine
Kallas explained how the EU will contribute to security guarantees
The Gaze reports on it according to European Truth.
The European Union's contribution to providing security guarantees to Ukraine will consist of financing, training and supporting the defence industry.
This was stated by the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, after an extraordinary video conference of EU foreign ministers.
Kallas explained how the EU, as a supranational structure, will contribute to security guarantees for Ukraine after the war ends.
"The European Union itself will make a significant contribution to security guarantees by providing funding, conducting training and supporting the defence industry. We are working on these details now, including the continuation of our current missions in Ukraine," Kallas said.
She noted that ‘security guarantees for Ukraine do not change the fact that Russia is the real threat here.’ ‘Over the past 100 years, Russia has attacked more than 19 countries, some of them three or even four times. None of these countries has ever attacked Russia,’ the EU High Representative stated.
Therefore, in her opinion, any peace agreement must ‘focus on how to get concessions from the Russian side so that they permanently cease their aggression and do not try to change borders by force.’
‘The focus should be on what Russia, the aggressor, must do, not on what Ukraine, the victim, must sacrifice,’ Kaja Kallas emphasised.
"Today, we reaffirmed our common principles: sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and Ukraine's inherent right to self-defence. Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine," she said.
As reported by European Truth, following the meeting of the ‘coalition of the determined,’ France and the United Kingdom agreed on 26 November to set up a working group to prepare security guarantees for Ukraine within the framework of the ‘coalition of the determined,’ which will include the United States and Turkey.
As the Gaze reported earlier EU Representative Kallas: Ukraine and Europe must also green-light peace plan.
