Details: Kallas said there was a “palpable unity” among EU leaders at the virtual summit in their pursuit of lasting peace in Ukraine.

“Putin cannot be trusted to honour any promise or commitment. Therefore, security guarantees must be strong and credible enough to deter Russia from re-grouping and re-attacking,” she wrote.

Kallas pledged that the EU will contribute to Ukraine’s security guarantees, “notably by the training of Ukrainian soldiers and strengthening Ukraine’s armed forces and defence industry”.

“The EU will also continue targeting Russia’s war economy. The next sanctions package against Moscow should be ready by next month,” she added.
