The European Union, represented by High Representative Kaja Kallas, will not mediate between Ukraine and Russia or replace the US in the peace process. Kallas emphasized that the EU supports Ukraine and will not be neutral. The EU aims to articulate a common position on concessions Russia should make, while Ukraine seeks a more active EU role in negotiations. The ongoing conflict has led to frustration in Ukraine, and recent Russian attacks on Kyiv highlight the urgency of the situation.
