The EU's top diplomat said Thursday that NATO offered the best security guarantee for Ukraine, accusing President Donald Trump of falling for a Russian narrative by closing the door.
In an interview with AFP on a visit to Washington, Kaja Kallas also warned that the Europeans would not be able to assist in an eventual ceasefire deal in Ukraine's three-year conflict with Russia unless they are included by Trump, who has reached out directly to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Kallas, a former prime minister of frontline state Estonia, said NATO countries have never attacked Russia which instead was "afraid of democracy."

They've been cut out of any deal that Russia and the US cut betwixt themselves, so they threaten to walk out.
Farcical. The Marx Brothers could not have written such biting satire.
The EU keeps poking the bear.
The way our NATO “allies” talk you would think that they had an army!
The sooner we kick Europe out on their street to defend for themselves the better off they will be.
LOL well since to become a member it requires an unanimous vote which means Trump would also have to agree, yes EU idiot it is dead in the water, door slammed shut.
This airhead woman from Estonia is trying a power play on how NATO works? Estonia has 7700 soldiers on active duty. Half are conscripts. They have two twin engine cargo planes, three MI-2s and 4 MI-8s.
Just STFU little girl.
Time for Plan B...
Maybe it can become NEUTO.
Russia has punched itself out in Ukraine and is now resorting to using horses, mules and donkeys to transport people and supplies to the front. NATO was created to contain the former Soviet Union, and then was adapted and expanded to contain Russia. Putin made a play to take at least half of Ukraine and recreate the USSR, and has mostly lost. Decades of Soviet tanks, APC’s and munitions have been destroyed. Europe is no longer afraid of a Russian attack, and wants to take the opportunity to defang Russia. A clear Russian defeat will permit that, and Russia is near a military or economic collapse. Europe understands that, and doesn’t want to fold a winning hand just to declare peace.
Membership is only obtained through unanimous consent. If the US or any others do not consent, then no NATO for Ukraine.
Does this guy think he’s some hack US judge? Only the robed fascists get to overrule Trump.
Funny how many cities in the Ukraine are bombed out shells. Just sayin’.
YOU go fight, Nimrod.
Dream on...
This is all play acting They were not going to approve Ukraine for NATO.
And then?
Keep it up Nato. You can become as popular as Democrats.
Estonia. This is like Rhode Island trying to dictate foreign policy.
“Time to hit back at these clowns, Tariffs are overdue.”
The US deficit with Europe is $236 billion per year, second only to China.
It needs to be brought into perfect balance.
First of all, their “top diplomat” means precisely dick.
These people are like children. “We won’t be able to participate in a peace plan unless we’re included! “
Of course they would be included before they are asked to participate.
These are just leftists afraid that Trump and Vance are going to get them fired.
