We are the biggest allies,\u201d she said, adding that the goal of the US should be to help Europe \u201ccorrect its current trajectory\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The document, which said Europe might one day lose its status as a reliable ally, struck a similar tone to the offensive launched by US President Donald Trump\u2019s administration against Europe earlier this year as it pressed for countries to up their NATO contributions, accusing them of taking advantage of Washington\u2019s generosity amid the Ukraine war.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has taken a lead in efforts to end the war, which started with Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, coming up with a plan that involves Ukraine surrendering land that Russia has not been able to win on the battlefield in return for security promises that fall short of Kyiv\u2019s aspirations to join NATO.<\/p>\n<p>US officials are holding a third straight day of talks on Saturday with Ukrainian counterparts who have pushed for revisions to that draft, as a follow-up to five hours of talks in Moscow on Tuesday, which confirmed Russian President Vladimir Putin is not giving up on his maximalist demands and territorial claims.<\/p>\n<p>After the second day of talks on Friday, Washington had said \u201creal progress\u201d would depend on \u201cRussia\u2019s readiness to show serious commitment to long-term peace, including steps toward de-escalation and cessation of killings\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to previous US pressure applied on Kyiv to cede to Russian demands, Kallas told the Doha Forum that placing \u201climitations and stress on Ukraine actually does not bring us long-lasting peace\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf aggression is rewarded, we will see it happen again, and not only in Ukraine or Gaza, but all around the world,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Kallas said that Europe, which is nervous of a spillover from the war, had been \u201cunderestimating its own power\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTowards Russia, for example\u2026 we should be more self-confident,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foreign policy chief keeping Washington onside as Ukrainian, US officials continue talks on ending Russia-Ukraine war.
