WARSAW, Nov ‌6 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin has ​no veto ‌on European security matters ‌and Ukraine must become fully integrated into ‌European security architecture, the EU's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said on Friday.

"We ⁠already have European ‌security architecture in ⁠place. NATO and the ​European Union both have their respective roles. We ​must make sure ​Ukraine ‌is integrated into this ​architecture," she said ⁠in Warsaw, speaking ‌alongside Polish Foreign ​Minister ​Radoslaw Sikorski and Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha.

Kallas added that the EU must ‌play a role in hammering out any ‌peace ​deal and said that Russian sabotage against Europe must stop.
