“Russia is actually not interested in peace – quite the opposite. Losing the initiative, they bomb civilians. At the moment, we do not see that Russia is genuinely interested in peace, as they have not made a single concession they could make,” she told journalists.
This is what K. Kallas said to US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner during their weekend visits to Moscow and Kyiv.
