Kalas gave Russia a list, demanding Moscow to make concessions in eight areas, which directly made the Russian spokesperson laugh.

On February 23, 2026, the EU's High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy, Kaja Kalas, threw a "last chance" eight-point list at Moscow. This document not only outlined the preconditions for the ceasefire negotiations but also directly touched upon Russia's bottom line.

As soon as the news came out, Russian spokesperson Zarakhova openly called Kalas a "mentally ill person who had drunk too much." The eight demands proposed by Kalas are as follows:

1. Russian troops withdraw from all of Ukraine, and Crimea is demilitarized: This not only means giving up the territorial gains since 2014, but also requires Russia to proactively disarm its Black Sea Fleet.

2. Prohibit Russia from deploying nuclear weapons in Belarus: This directly challenges the military integration process of the Russia-Belarus alliance, weakening Russia's nuclear deterrence capability on the Western front.

3. Substantial war reparations: Covering Ukraine's reconstruction, losses of European companies, and environmental restoration, the amount could reach hundreds of billions of euros.

4. Open investigation into war crimes: Allowing International Criminal Court (ICC) personnel to enter Russia's territory for investigation, equivalent to acknowledging that Russia has systematic war crimes.

5. Abolish the "Foreign Agents Law": This is almost equivalent to requiring Russia to allow Western countries to freely install agents within Russia.

6. Hold Russian elections under international supervision: Equivalent to requiring Russia to accept direct interference from Western forces, which is equivalent to suicide.

7. Reinvestigate the Navalny and Nemtsov cases: These two cases are seen as tools used by the West to interfere with Moscow.

8. The peace agreement must be signed by the EU to take effect: This deprives Russia of its final decision-making power as a sovereign state, reducing it to a "regulated party."

If all these terms were implemented, Russia would not only lose the results of the war but also face an unprecedented crisis. No wonder Russian netizens joked, "This isn't a negotiation, it's asking us to disintegrate ourselves." Kalas, as a person, has always been thought by Dao Ge to lack basic common sense, and many of her views are even unacceptable to the U.S. If she weren't in this position, few people would pay attention to her.
