EU foreign affairs chief Kaja Kallas is sharply critical of the Russian "negotiators" who held talks with the US and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi.

"Only military personnel are present who have no mandate to agree to anything, which shows that they are definitely not serious about peace. It's the opposite," Kallas said on her way to the EU foreign ministers' meeting in Brussels.

After the recent talks in Abu Dhabi, she accuses Russia of trying to "freeze" Ukraine into giving up.

It's a very harsh winter and the Ukrainians are really suffering. There's a humanitarian disaster coming.

To alleviate the crisis, the European Commission is urgently providing an additional SEK 1.6 billion in humanitarian aid to Ukraine and Moldova, to deal with the effects of Russian attacks on energy networks.
