"Ukraine needs a ceasefire, and no one wants peace more than Ukraine. And it is very important that peace negotiations continue. But the result of these peace negotiations should be the strengthening of Ukraine, because Putin does not respect weakness. And that is why we need to put Ukraine in a position of strength," Hipper said.
According to her, the EU is committed to continuing to provide military support and strengthening defense capabilities.
She also mentioned the recent attacks by Russia, which killed at least 20 civilians, including nine children.
Russia demonstrates complete disrespect for negotiations and demonstrates every day that it is not interested in holding them. That is why it is very important to ensure a ceasefire in order to achieve a lasting and comprehensive peace, but we cannot be naive when dealing with Putin and seeing his murderous attacks every day.
