PARIS, March 26 (Reuters) – The European Unions is worried about Ukraine being pressured by the United States into ceding territory in negotiations with Russia, the EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said on Thursday.
“This is clearly a wrong approach. It is, of course, the Russian playbook of negotiations, that they are demanding something that has never been theirs, and that’s why we are also flagging that this is the trap that we should not walk into,” Kallas said on the sidelines of a G7 meeting in France.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy told Reuters that the U.S. had been linking its offer for security guarantees on the condition that Kyiv would cede the eastern region of Donbas to Moscow.
