Europe cannot be 'neutral mediator' between Russia and Ukraine: Kallas

Europe cannot act as a "neutral mediator" between Kyiv and Moscow, the EU's top diplomat said Thursday after the bloc's ministers debated their terms for potential talks with Russia.

"Europe will never be a neutral mediator between Russia and Ukraine, because we are on Ukraine's side and we are defending our own core security interests," Kaja Kallas told a news conference in Cyprus.
