Kaja Kallas, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs, expressed her desire to represent the EU in peace negotiations with Russia, but noted that Moscow opposes her involvement due to her firm stance. She emphasized the need for a strong team in negotiations and acknowledged that EU leaders appointed her in June 2024, anticipating direct talks with Russia. Kallas stated that while leaders can change their decision, the focus should remain on critical issues. She criticized the U.S. approach of appointing personal representatives and highlighted that the EU should choose someone with an institutional role. Kallas also mentioned that Russia prefers weaker representatives to impose its demands, asserting that Moscow should not dictate who represents the EU.
