Kallas stated that there are no security guarantees for Ukraine from the EU

European countries have not taken the necessary steps to ensure Ukraine's security. This was stated on April 11 by the head of diplomacy of the European Union (EU), Kaya Kallas, quoted by the British newspaper The Guardian.

"No," Kallas replied when asked by reporters if there was any clarity about specific guarantees for Ukraine's security.

The head of EU diplomacy stressed that the EU countries do not have a clear plan on how to end the conflict without putting pressure on Russia. According to her, different Member States have different opinions, and discussions are still ongoing.
