Luxembourg’s Foreign Minister Xavier Bettel said on Thursday that Europe needs to talk to the Kremlin if it wants to find a way to end Russia’s war in Ukraine.
“We need to talk with them if we want a solution,” Bettel told Euronews.
Talking to journalists ahead of the meeting, Luxembourg’s foreign minister also played down Ukraine’s possible accession into the EU next year, The Guardian reported on Wednesday.
It’s not in your interest.”“The fact is, there are rules, the Copenhagen criteria, and we need to fulfil them,” Luxembourg’s foreign minister added.
“So, to give the feeling that they are peacemakers is a bit special too,” Bettel said.
