EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas says American negotiators have been trying for almost two years to push Ukraine toward surrendering to Russia. She argues that the effort has been aimed at securing an outcome that would align with Russia’s interests, and frames the issue as part of wider tensions between the EU and the US.
Across reports, Kallas is also calling for Europe to play a direct role in any peace process. Kyiv Post and Euronews say she advocates deeper European involvement in negotiations and tougher pressure on Moscow, with the goal of a “just, lasting” settlement. Ukrainska Pravda similarly highlights that European support has helped prevent Ukraine from conceding under US pressure.
While the core claim is consistent, outlets vary slightly in wording and timing—some say “almost two years,” while others cite roughly “1.5 years.” The emphasis also differs: several focus on the alleged US pressure itself, while Kyiv Post and Euronews add more detail about what Kallas wants from Europe in response.
