Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) must impose clear demands on the United States to allow the EU to participate in the upcoming peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, says Social Democrats party leader Magdalena Andersson to TT.
The statement is given before the planned crisis meeting in Paris on Monday where European top leaders will discuss the US message that Europe must not sit at the negotiating table.
– There I think that the Swedish message must be very, very clear. It is about the future that Ukraine’s future cannot be decided over their heads, but Ukraine must of course have full participation in any possible peace negotiations. But it is also true that Europe’s security cannot be decided without the EU sitting at the table, says Andersson.
Is there a risk that the Swedish message will not be clear enough?
– Ulf Kristersson has said that the United States decides who they want to invite to different negotiations. Absolutely, but Sweden can place clear demands on what we think.
Kristersson has said that it should be a matter of course that Europe gets a place in the negotiating table. Isn’t that clear enough?
– Then I think we should say that it is a clear requirement from Europe.
Is it possible to persuade the United States to leave the EU?
– Everything else is completely unreasonable, the EU should make the very clear requirement.
