According to the Estonian prime minister, with these calls, Putin “feels like he’s in the spotlight because everyone wants to talk to him.”
“But what do we get from this? I don’t see any results, because after all these negotiations, Bucha happened, Irpin happened, we don’t see any signs of de-escalation,” she added. Earlier in a press conference, Kallas added: “Why talk to a war criminal?”
Kallas is convinced that “peace cannot be the ultimate goal” of future Ukraine-Russia talks after the end of the war: “We made this mistake three times in the case of Georgia, Donbass and Crimea.”
“Because in those territories that are occupied, atrocities will not stop if there is peace [без деоккупации]. What can Ukraine “de-escalate”? They are [украинцы] they didn’t do anything wrong, they are defending their country, which they attacked,” she said.
