Kaja Kallas just delivered one of the clearest statements yet on the Ukraine peace process at the European Political Community summit in Dublin. She said there is still no goodwill from the Russian side. The only acceptable sequence is a real ceasefire that stops the bombing of civilians, then a peace agreement, and only after that any discussion of broader European security architecture.She stressed that Europe already has a security architecture in place through the Helsinki Final Act, the Paris Agreement, and the Budapest Memorandum — documents Russia itself signed. The problem is that Russia is not keeping those agreements. Focusing on a new security order right now, she warned, simply diverts attention from the urgent need to stop the killing in Ukraine.This is the European position stated without softening. Watch her full remarks and decide where you stand.

Do you agree that ceasefire must come before any new architecture talks? Drop your view in the comments....

00:00Good morning. Good to be in sunny Dublin. We have a lot of discussions on the table today.
00:07We talk about democratic resilience. We talk about connectivity, all the things that unite us here
00:13in Europe and wider European political community. But of course, what is on everybody's minds
00:20is the talks between Russia and Ukraine. Unfortunately, we don't see any goodwill
00:28from the Russian side. There should be a right sequencing. First, to have a ceasefire so that
00:35the bombing of the civilians really stops. And then sit down, talk over the peace agreement.
00:41And only then we can talk about peace or security architecture of Europe. What I want to stress
00:48is that we already have a European security architecture in place. It has been written
00:52in several documents. If you think about the Helsinki Final Act, the Paris Agreement,
00:59the Budapest Nomorandum, where Russia has also agreed to the European security architecture.
01:05The problem just is that Russia is not keeping to those agreements. So right now, I mean,
01:10the focus should be on how we make sure that Russia actually keeps to their obligations that
01:17they have taken under several agreements, international agreements, and they don't attack
01:22another country again. But what I want to stress is the sequencing is super important. First,
01:27the ceasefire, then the peace agreement, and then any kind of other discussions. Right now,
01:33taking the focus to the European security architecture is actually diverting the attention
01:37away from where it actually should be, which is ceasefire stopping the killing in Ukraine.
01:42and put the available, both 같이 llegan into their country, and that is our energy to
01:42our Ka Xiank website.
01:43And we have to make sure that global action is right now.
