0:39Kallas says Kushner has acknowledged that Europeans must be involved in Russia-Ukraine negotiations.
1:08She puts a ceasefire before a peace agreement and broader security discussions.
2:14She warns that debating European security architecture first would follow Russia's preferred agenda.
4:10Kallas rejects the idea that Russia should determine who represents Europe.
7:07She argues that European negotiators need an established institutional role, rather than an ad hoc appointment.
7:56She says Russia wants a weak negotiating partner to help push through its maximum demands.

A ceasefire first, a peace agreement next, and broader security discussions after that. Kaja Kallas lays out that sequence to journalists in Ireland, arguing that Europe must influence the outcome of Russia-Ukraine negotiations rather than simply secure a seat at the table.

Hook Global's upload of the European Commission footage reached roughly 150,000 views in 14 hours, well beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for regular videos.

The EU foreign policy chief says Jared Kushner has finally acknowledged her longstanding argument that Europeans must be involved in any deal. But her remarks quickly move beyond that point of agreement to a warning: she argues that shifting the discussion toward Europe's security architecture before a ceasefire means accepting Russia's preferred agenda.

Kallas also says Europe should answer Moscow's maximum demands with maximum demands of its own. In her account, Russia wants a weaker negotiating partner, not a stronger one.

Asked about Moscow's willingness to negotiate with her, she turns the question around: "I know that the Russians don't want me, but you know, do we have a say who is representing Russia? No, we don't..."

The title's warning against copying the American approach becomes explicit later in the exchange. Kallas argues that Europe's representatives need an established institutional mandate, rather than an improvised appointment: "We have institutions in place, so we can't just send any person that has no institutional role..."
