- 🇪🇺/🇷🇺/🇺🇦 New: EU foreign policy chief Kaia Callas says focusing on Russia's demands for a new European security architecture could distract from the ceasefire and "fall into Moscow's trap".
"While Russia maintains its maximum demands, we must stick to our demands."
"Europeans should be present in the talks, not only to participate, but to influence the outcome."
Callas said Europe's priority should remain a ceasefire and a peace deal before wider negotiations on the continent's security architecture, adding that EU foreign ministers had already prepared their negotiating positions.
Separately, Callas raised concerns about the military's use of artificial intelligence, including claims that Russian forces are increasingly developing autonomous drone capabilities. Her specific assertion that Russian drones were "programmed to kill anyone" was not independently substantiated in the material reviewed.
