#Putin wants to take photos with President #Trump and delay sanctions - #EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs #Kaja_Kallas on the meeting in #Alaska.
#Kaja_Kallas stated that #Putin is not showing readiness for meaningful negotiations with President #Trump in #Alaska.
She emphasized that real negotiations are only possible with the participation of President #Zelenskyy since the war is between #Russia and #Ukraine.
The absence of the #Ukrainian leader at the meeting indicates #Putin’s unwillingness to achieve peace.
#Kallas also added that the #United_States has leverage over #Putin, but these levers must be used wisely.
"Of course, we hope for that because the #US clearly has leverage over #Russia. This is evident from the fact that #Putin is now sitting at the negotiating table, but it is clear what #Putin wants.
He wants the opportunity to be photographed with President #Trump, the most influential person on earth, and then he wants to delay the threat of sanctions, to pretend he is negotiating, so that the threat will no longer exist. The outcome must be an unconditional ceasefire so that real negotiations can begin - negotiations between #Ukraine and #Russia.
President #Zelenskyy must be part of the meeting. It is obvious that #Putin does not want him there. Why?
#Kaja_Kallas also stressed that the #West must "pressure the aggressor to make concessions he has not yet made" and that "all pressure must be directed at the aggressor, not the victim."
