Kallas in Warsaw: Ukraine must be integrated into European security, Putin cannot block it

Ukraine’s full inclusion in Europe’s security architecture is essential, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said on Friday in Warsaw. She stressed that Russian President Vladimir Putin has no right to obstruct decisions concerning Europe’s security, according to Reuters.

Kallas made the remarks on November 6, 2026, at a meeting in the Polish capital with Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski and his Ukrainian counterpart, Andrii Sybiha.

Referring to Europe’s existing security framework, she explained that NATO and the European Union each have their own role. Kallas said Ukraine must also be guaranteed a place in that architecture.

The EU’s foreign policy chief also called for the bloc to play a central role in reaching any peace agreement. At the same time, she called for Russian acts of sabotage against Europe to stop.

Kallas made clear that Russian President Vladimir Putin has no right to block decisions on European security. She also posted a statement on X.

The meeting in Warsaw comes at a pivotal moment for the continent’s security. Ukraine’s future and its place in Euro-Atlantic structures remain central to discussions on the EU’s agenda.
