BRUSSELS, Aug 16 (Reuters) - The European Union's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said in a statement on Saturday that Russia has no intention to end its war in Ukraine "anytime soon" but the United States holds the power to force serious negotiations.
"President (Donald) Trump’s resolve to get a peace deal is vital ... Putin continues to drag out negotiations and hopes he gets away with it. He left Anchorage without making any commitments," Kallas said in a statement.
"The U.S. holds the power to force Russia to negotiate seriously. The EU will work with Ukraine and the U.S."
