Overview

• EU High Representative Kaja Kallas said the present threat under Vladimir Putin “reminds of 1938,” urging Europe to heed historical lessons.
• She cited reports that at least 19 Russian drones entered Polish airspace this week and called it the most serious breach of European airspace since the war began.
• Kallas rejected negotiations that involve Ukrainian territorial concessions, describing a Russian tactic of maximal demands, threats and Western self‑pressure to concede.
• She argued that Moscow is asserting claims to areas it does not control and warned that concessions based on inflated demands are not genuine compromise.
• Kallas said she is working on a 19th EU sanctions package to cut financial flows, block dual‑use exports and toughen enforcement against evasion, claiming Russia has already lost about $450 billion under existing measures.
