“(The Americans - ed.) are understanding that to end this war, we have to put the pressure on Russia, because Russia is the one who started this war,” she said.

Kallas also noted the resolute stance on Russia pursued by U.S. President Donald Trump.

"President Trump has been very strong in his statements towards Putin," Kallas said. "So I guess we see the picture quite similarly."

According to the EU top diplomat, everybody wants to end this war but the peace must be sustainable. "Everybody wants to end this war because everybody wants there to be peace. But it's also clear, and that was also what (U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio - ed.) said, it's clear that the peace must be sustainable," Kaja Kallas added.
