Callas accused Trump of repeating "Russian theses"

On February 27, the head of European diplomacy, Kaya Kallas, accused the US president Donald Trump in repeating the "Russian theses" about the conflict on Ukraine and attempts to distance USA from Europe.

She said that she was uncomfortable with the statements of the American president and officials of his administration, in which they allegedly reproduce "Russian narratives" about the special operation. Washington, she said, has found a "new friend" in Moscow.

"[Trump's] statements about us are quite harsh, and his words about Russia are very friendly. This is a change," Callas said in interview to the portal Axios.

The politician also criticized the bilateral contacts between the Russian Federation and the United States on the Ukrainian issue, stressing that any agreement on this issue must be approved by Ukraine and European countries.
