Brussels -- The European Commission confirmed on Friday that achieving peace in Ukraine still requires significant effort and Russian will, stressing that decisions concerning the EU’s security remain the prerogative of its member states. Commission spokesperson Paula Pinho told journalists at the Commission’s headquarters in Brussels that “reaching peace requires considerable efforts and, above all, the will of the party that started the war,” referring to Russia. On another note, Pinho emphasized that “the European Union has the right to make its own decisions on matters affecting its security,” following a statement by US President Donald Trump yesterday in which he announced his intention to “strike a very large deal with Russia that could encompass all of Europe.” (End) A.R.N. / A.B.K.
