00:00Russia doesn't want peace and can't be trusted to advance that goal, according to the EU's
00:07top diplomat, Kaya Kallis.
00:10Kallis' warning came after the announcement of a phone call between US President Donald
00:15Trump and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.
00:21And now, of course, the ball is in Russia's court and we see right now that Russia doesn't
00:27really want peace.
00:29And also what was understanding around the table is that Russia can't really be trusted.
00:36So they will, you know, seize this opportunity to present all kinds of demands and what we
00:41already see, they are presenting demands that are their ultimate goals.
00:47So let's see how this develops further.
00:50Kallis' comments come as EU foreign ministers mesh to discuss the situation in Ukraine and
00:56elsewhere.
00:58Hungary's foreign minister, Péter Sciartó, said his nation opposed a plan promoted by
01:03Kallis to spend further resources on weapons supplies to Ukraine.
01:27Both Kallis' and Sciartó's comments are a reaction to Putin's non-committal answer
01:43to the White House's proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine.
01:48The Russian leader asked for nuances to be clarified, including whether Western weapons
01:52supplies would continue.
