Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasized that the future European security architecture should be determined by European nations and NATO members, not Russia. He reaffirmed Canada's commitment to support NATO allies, highlighting the presence of Canadian troops in Latvia. Carney rejected Russia's demands for NATO troop withdrawals and criticized the idea of a buffer zone between NATO and Russia. Meanwhile, Russia proposed reducing NATO's military presence in Europe to 1997 levels during recent negotiations. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas stressed that negotiations for ending the Ukraine war should prioritize a ceasefire before addressing broader security issues. She noted that Russia must adhere to international commitments.
