PARIS, Nov ‌9 (Reuters) - The European Union's foreign policy ​chief said on Monday she saw little sign ⁠of goodwill from Russia to negotiate a settlement to the war in Ukraine, adding ​Moscow had already signed up to numerous agreements ‌underpinning European security but had failed to respect them.

Speaking in an interview with Reuters on ⁠the sidelines of a G7 ⁠foreign ministers meeting in Paris, Kaja Kallas also said any future discussions on European security should be led by the European ‌Union in line with its treaties and ⁠institutional structures, rather than ‌through ad hoc formats.

"It is ​clear that the big countries want to talk also to big countries" she said.

"But ‌when it comes to ​European security issues, ⁠then the European Union has very ‌clear lines in place. ⁠We have the treaties," she also said.

She added she expected some European countries to ​also provide their ‌suspicions on a spate of hoax bomb threats ⁠across the bloc ​in the coming days.
