The Prime Minister of Belgium urged EU to start negotiations with Russia on the end of the war

Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever called for The EU will begin negotiations with Russia on ending the war in Ukraine.

The European Union should get a mandate from member states to negotiate with Moscow, since the existing methods of pressure do not work, he said in an interview with the Belgian newspaper L'Echo.

"Since we are not able to threaten Vladimir Putin by supplying weapons to Ukraine, and we cannot strangle it economically without the support of the United States, there is only one way left — to conclude a deal," he said.

According to De However, it would be possible to break Russia only with "100% US support."
