00:00Russia doesn't want peace and can't be trusted to advance that goal, according to the EU's

00:07top diplomat, Kaya Kallis.

00:10Kallis' warning came after the announcement of a phone call between US President Donald

00:15Trump and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.

00:21And now, of course, the ball is in Russia's court and we see right now that Russia doesn't

00:27really want peace.

00:29And also what was understanding around the table is that Russia can't really be trusted.

00:36So they will, you know, seize this opportunity to present all kinds of demands and what we

00:41already see, they are presenting demands that are their ultimate goals.

00:47So let's see how this develops further.

00:50Kallis' comments come as EU foreign ministers mesh to discuss the situation in Ukraine and

00:56elsewhere.

00:58Hungary's foreign minister, Péter Sciartó, said his nation opposed a plan promoted by

01:03Kallis to spend further resources on weapons supplies to Ukraine.

01:27Both Kallis' and Sciartó's comments are a reaction to Putin's non-committal answer

01:43to the White House's proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine.

01:48The Russian leader asked for nuances to be clarified, including whether Western weapons

01:52supplies would continue.
