EU echoes Trump on Russian oil purchase; Europe's latest attempt to appease US amid Budapest drama?

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas strongly defended the bloc’s approach to the Ukraine crisis, pushing back against claims the EU was “sabotaging” peace efforts at a Luxembourg foreign ministers’ summit. Kallas stressed that supporting President Trump’s push for negotiations was not enough. Kallas reaffirmed that the only way to force a ceasefire was to cut off Russian resources, insisting on coordination with the U.S. and continued robust support for Ukraine.
