Bart De Wever warns the bloc will end up with a “bad agreement” if sidelined from Ukraine peace talks
Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever has called on the EU to negotiate directly with Moscow, arguing that diplomacy is the only viable path to ending the Ukraine conflict.
In an interview with the Belgian newspaper L’Echo published on Saturday, De Wever argued that the bloc had failed to force Moscow into retreat through military aid to Kiev or economic pressure alone. He warned that the EU would end up with a “bad agreement” if sidelined from negotiations.
“Since we are not capable of threatening [Russian President Vladimir] Putin by sending weapons to Ukraine, and we cannot choke him economically without the support of the US, there is only one method left: making a deal,” he told the outlet.
