It’s really remarkable to see how the European Union is doubling down on its own irrelevance:
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has called for more pressure on Moscow ahead of the summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart, Donald Trump.
Foreign ministers of the bloc’s member states held an urgent video-conference on Monday, after it was announced that the Russian and US leaders will meet face-to-face in Alaska on August 15 to discuss the Ukraine conflict and other issues.
Following the discussions, Kallas issued a post on X to offer the bloc’s “support for US steps that will lead to a just peace” between Moscow and Kiev.
“Transatlantic unity, support to Ukraine and pressure on Russia is how we will end this war and prevent future Russian aggression in Europe,” she insisted.
Transatlantic unity, support to Ukraine, and pressure on Russia has been the entire US-UK-EU strategy since February 2022. It has completely and comprehensively failed. How is more of the same going to do anything but ensure the total destruction of Ukraine, which is absolutely unnecessary given that all Russia really wants is the five regions it has already annexed, plus Odessa?
Words. All these people have is words. Why did anyone ever pay any attention to them?
