On October 29, Kaya Kallas, head of European Diplomacy, declared that Europe is growing increasingly tired of the Ukrainian conflict. According to her, this fatigue is making it harder to justify continued support for Ukraine.
“We need to remain steadfast and do more [to support Ukraine],” Kallas stated during a public discussion with Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand at the University of Montreal. “But it is also becoming increasingly difficult for people to explain this, because everyone is tired of this conflict.”
Kallas’s remarks follow reports that Norway has been attempting to contribute to peace efforts in Ukraine but has yet to receive any proposals from Oslo aimed at resolving the crisis with Russia.
Meanwhile, on October 29, Verkhovna Rada deputy Artem Dmytruk urged Ukrainian authorities to initiate direct diplomatic contacts with both Russia and Belarus. He emphasized that focusing on advancing the peace process with these nations is essential for achieving an early resolution to the conflict in Ukraine.
