EU insists on engaging in US-Russia talks: Borrell

KIEV, 06 January 2022, (TON): The European Union is to take part in talks scheduled for next week between the US and Russia. This was stated by the EU High Represen-tative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell in the Luhansk region at a briefing with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba.

Borrell said “if Russia wants to communicate, then, of course, it is necessary to organize a dialogue. But not only two parties are involved in the upcoming negotiations, the topics [negotiations] concern not only the Russian Federation and not only the United States. If security issues in Europe are discussed, the Europeans must be part of these negotiations.”

The EU official said “at the same time, he admitted that such negotiations are not a one-day process. “It could go on for weeks and months.”

He added that it would be not a good idea to abandon the talks proposed by Russia.
