EU Foreign Ministers Emphasize Unity in Negotiations with Russia to Support Ukraine

European Union foreign ministers convened in Cyprus to discuss the strategy for engaging in direct talks with Russia. The meeting highlighted the importance of unity among EU member states to avoid falling into what they described as a 'trap' set by Russia. High Representative Kaja Kallas emphasized that the focus should be on the negotiation mandate rather than the individual negotiator, warning against allowing Russia to dictate terms by selecting negotiators. The discussion comes amid suggestions of former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder as a potential negotiator, a proposal met with skepticism due to his ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The ministers stressed the need for a unified European approach to counter Russia's demands and support Ukraine effectively.
