Direct negotiations between Ukraine and Russia: the view of Europe and the USA

“We know that Putin cannot be trusted. We understand that genuine peace and security require reliable defense commitments for Ukraine. Putin has repeatedly violated his promises from the Minsk agreements to today. He started this horrible aggression that has taken millions of lives. But Putin can be stopped, the Russian economy is weakening. He is becoming increasingly isolated, while our alliance is stronger, more resolute, and more cohesive,” said the Prime Minister of Canada.

The sanctions pressure on Moscow needs to be strengthened, believe those in Kyiv and Brussels. Making concessions to Putin is not an option. This could be the biggest mistake, said the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaia Kallas.

After the announcement of aggressive economic pressure on Russia from the US and the arguments for strengthening sanctions against Moscow, the conflict between the involved parties may escalate, causing further tensions in the region. At the same time, resolving diplomatic issues through direct negotiations remains relevant for achieving a peaceful resolution of the conflict.
