The EU’s chief diplomat, Kaja Kallas, has issued a stark warning, echoing NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte: “If we don’t help Ukraine further, we should start learning Russian.”
Kallas emphasized that the European Union is doing its part for Ukraine, “not only because Ukraine is Europe’s front line of defense. We know that Russia responds to force and nothing else.”
She highlighted the importance of the EU’s proposed 18th sanctions package, stating that “every sanction weakens Russia’s ability to fight.”
However, she concluded with a renewed caution: “We must do more for Ukraine, even for our own security. To quote my friend, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte: if we don’t help Ukraine further, we will all have to start learning Russian. The stronger Ukraine is on the battlefield today, the stronger it will be around the negotiating table when Russia is finally ready to talk.”
