Turin, Sept. 7 (LaPresse) – “The EU continues to support all diplomatic efforts that can contribute to achieving a just and lasting peace in Ukraine. The push to give new momentum to negotiations through diplomatic contacts and the visit of US negotiators to Kyiv is particularly welcome. At the same time, Russia continues to intensify hostilities by targeting civilians.” A spokesperson for the European External Action Service said this during the daily press briefing. “We have witnessed – he added – the tragic massacre of civilians that took place during the summer, also as a result of attacks on Ukrainian grain exports from the Black Sea, which put global food security at risk. And once again, by targeting energy infrastructure to inflict a harsh winter on the Ukrainian population. Putin’s actions bring devastation. Putin’s words reiterate Russia’s maximalist objectives. None of these contribute to ending Russia’s war. On the other hand, Ukraine remains steadfast in its resilience and commitment to a complete and unconditional ceasefire. Therefore, we support Ukraine in its efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace.”
