Putin clearly unwilling to make concessions, EU’s Kallas says

(Reuters) – European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said on Wednesday that Moscow cannot be trusted, after a phone call between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin resulted in a Russian agreement to stop attacking Ukrainian energy facilities temporarily.

“If you read the two readouts from the call, it is clear that … Russia does not really want to make any kind of concessions,” Kallas told reporters in Brussels.

Putin declined to endorse a full 30-day ceasefire that Trump hoped would be the first step toward a permanent peace deal.
