Details: Kallas noted that China is "learning from Russia" and emphasised that defending Ukraine against the Kremlin would send a strong message to Beijing.

Quote: "If you don’t want problems with China, I think you have to be really strong on Russia. If you are really firm and you are not giving them what they want, it’s more probable that you won’t have more wars."

Background:

  • Donald Trump shared his insights from his conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Paris, where they attended the reopening ceremony of Notre Dame. He stated that he was thinking about a concept for implementing his vision of a swift end to the war.
  • Similar messages were expressed in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, where Trump said that "Ukraine and Zelenskyy" are seeking a deal to cease combat actions.
