Kaja Kallas stated that the US has come to realize Russia's lack of desire for peace. The EU welcomes Trump's change in rhetoric regarding Moscow amid significant increases in Russian bombing campaigns. Some EU leaders expressed concern about the timeline for US tariffs on Russia unless a peace agreement with Ukraine is reached soon. Trump also announced new arms sales to Europe to assist Ukraine, aiming to expedite and increase weapon deliveries at a critical time of heightened Russian aggression.
"We see from the United States that they have also realized that Russia does not really want peace," Kaja Kallas told reporters, emphasizing the shift in the US stance towards Russia.
"What we experienced yesterday with the new messages from Trump was very, very important," said Denmark's Lars Lokke Rasmussen, highlighting EU leaders' approval of the US's change in tone against Russia.
"The 50 days that Mr. Trump has announced is rather long," commented Dutch foreign minister Caspar Veldkamp regarding the timeline set by the US for a potential peace deal with Ukraine.
The new plan should speed up and expand deliveries of US arms, which Ukraine says it needs as it faces increased Russian aerial attacks.
