Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever urged the EU to negotiate with Russia to end the Ukrainian conflict, citing ineffective current pressures. He suggested breaking Russia is only possible with full US support. The EU extended sanctions on Russia for six months, affecting 2.6 thousand entities, until September 15, 2026.
Bart De Wever has indeed called for negotiations with Russia to end the Ukraine conflict, as multiple sources confirm this statement. The claim about EU pressure methods being ineffective matches descriptions of current EU policies. However, there is no direct evidence for De Wever's comment on requiring 100% US support to break Russia. Additionally, the EU's sanction extensions against Russia are substantiated by official records.
