The European Union should not "humiliate" itself by seeking direct talks with Russia to end the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, High Representative Kaja Kallas has said, urging the bloc to avoid falling for Moscow's "trap" of maximalist demands.
"What we have seen so far is that Russia does not want to engage in any kind of dialogue. We should not humiliate ourselves by being the 'demandeurs’ (saying) 'please, we beg you to talk to us'," Kallas said on Thursday during an official visit to Estonia.
