European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas emphasised in an interview with France 24 that the United States has no right to act as Europe's representative during the negotiation process with Russia.
According to her, Moscow is actively trying to achieve the lifting of sanctions and the unfreezing of frozen Russian assets. However, as the diplomat stressed, decisions on these key issues can only be made by European countries.
Kallas also drew attention to the fact that Russia demonstrates a preference for conducting dialogue with the American side. In the view of the EU representative, it is easier for the Kremlin to reach an agreement with the United States than with European partners.
«США не можуть говорити від імені Європи» (The US cannot speak on behalf of Europe), Kallas concluded, reminding that it is European countries that decide the fate of frozen Russian assets.
