Kallas called the 50-day deadline for reaching a deal on Ukraine a long one.

The European Union (EU) welcomed the statement by US President Donald Trump on setting a deadline for progress on the Ukrainian conflict, but called it a long period. This was stated on July 14 by the head of European diplomacy, Kaya Kallas, whose words are quoted on the organization's website.

"On the one hand, it is very positive that President Trump is taking a firm stand against Russia. On the other hand, 50 days is a very long time," she said.
