“Who is laughing on the side or looking at the side is China,” Kallas said Thursday on the sidelines of a G7 meeting in Canada. “It’s really benefiting from the US having a trade war with Europe.”

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Thursday that Ukraine saw Türkiye as a partner in security guarantees for his country, and added that Kyiv was ready to ratify a free trade agreement between the states.
NATO member Türkiye has balanced ties with Kyiv and Moscow since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. It has maintained good ties with both, supporting Ukraine militarily and backing its territorial integrity, while refusing to join sanctions on Russia.
As Europe scrambles to bolster its own defence and security, while seeking guarantees for Kyiv under any possible ceasefire deal with Moscow urged by Washington, Türkiye has emerged as a key potential security partner.
