He emphasized that the EU countries remain equal to the support of Ukraine and the desire for the world, while it is Russia intentionally delaying the war.
“We see that Russia only wants wars. It has been confirmed by a recent deadly blow to Sumy,” Callas said.
The Supreme Representative emphasized that the path to serious negotiations in Moscow lies only by strengthening the penalty pressure.

Kallas recalled that the EU was a major partner for the Ukrainian defense industry and conducted a huge -scale training of the armed forces. According to him, two -thirds of the plan for a supply of 2 million ammunition have been fulfilled, but that is not enough.
“We should go ahead. Ukraine needs more ammunition and air defense systems – and soon,” he completed.
