The representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, published a statement regarding Russia's war against Ukraine.
The statement states that the EU remains steadfast in its commitment to a comprehensive, just and sustainable peace based on the principles of the UN Charter and international law.
We join Ukraine and international partners, including the United States, in calling for a complete, unconditional ceasefire lasting at least 30 days. This pause in hostilities could be a vital step towards reducing civilian suffering.
