European Union (EU) foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said that interactions between the United States and Russia showed Moscow had not given up its territorial goals in Ukraine, reports Reuters.

"We understand from those interactions that they (Russia) have had with the Americans (that) ... they haven't given up their goals," Kallas on the sidelines of the G20 meeting of foreign ministers in Johannesburg.

She warned that "if we are giving everything on the plate to the aggressor, it sends a signal to all the aggressors in the world that you can do this.”

Kallas said that some countries were focusing too much on mediation when they should be putting political and economic pressure on Russia to end the war.

"The point right now that is somewhat overlooked is that Russia does not want peace," she said.
