EU High Representative: Our priority is to strengthen Ukraine's position
The EU wants peace for Ukraine, but it needs to be sustainable, EU High Representative Kaja Kallas said.
"Our priority is to strengthen Ukraine's position, because there are no signs that Putin wants peace. We provided over EUR 134 billion to Ukraine, making us Kyiv's largest backer. We will have also trained 75,000 Ukrainian soldiers by the end of February," she said at a joint press conference with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan in Ankara on Friday.
The head of European diplomacy said that on Monday, January 27, EU ministers will discuss ways to further strengthen support for Ukraine.
"Of course, we all want peace, but we want the peace also to be sustainable. I do not know anybody else who wants more peace than the Ukrainians, that are constantly bombed," Kallas said.
Separately, she said cooperation between the European Union and Turkey has great potential. "I am looking forward to really enhance our cooperation and relationship even further," Kallas said.
