Callas said the US cannot negotiate sanctions on Europe.
The United States cannot conduct negotiations related to the introduction of European sanctions against Russia. The head of European diplomacy, Kaya Callas, said this in an interview with France24.
According to her, in the situation of the negotiations on Ukraine, "European interests are at stake", and the United States cannot discuss with Moscow the lifting of sanctions on Russia or the unfreezing of Russian assets.
"Russia, as a result of the negotiations, wants to achieve the lifting of the sanctions and the unfreezing of the frozen assets. These are European decisions that cannot be made by anyone but us. Of course, Russia does not want to talk to the Europeans, because it is easier to talk to the Americans. But these issues are related to us, and America cannot negotiate for us," Kalas noted.
