EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said that any proposals for a peaceful settlement of the war should be discussed with Ukraine.
He said this after the meeting of the EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg, reports “European truth“.
“Recently there have been proposals for peace from China and Brazil. For honest peace efforts, you need to talk with Kiev. You need to go there, see the consequences of the aggression through the eyes of those who were bombed,” Borrell said.
He stressed that it is necessary to be very clear about what happened: there is an aggressor who violated the UN charter, and there is a victim of this aggression.
“We cannot accept an approach where both sides are treated equally. Therefore, we support Ukraine with tanks, air defense systems and even fighter jets. We all want peace, but it must be a just peace. Until then, we will continue to support Ukraine in its defense” Borrell added.
Former Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmitry Kuleba saidthat voices for negotiations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, which are heard from different parts of the world, do not take into account the fact that Moscow does not demonstrate the slightest readiness for peace.
Recall, Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto believes that Ukraine and Russia should be put at the negotiating table, and China should be the mediator.
