Answering the question of why the EU needs negotiations with Russia, Kallas said that she personally would be able to recognize the "traps" that Russia sets.
“For half of my professional life I was a lawyer. A partner in a law firm, I took part in many negotiations. The difference between politics and the private sector is that in the private sector, if you are a good lawyer or negotiator, you do not need to say it about yourself, others say it. But in politics, you know, as George W. Bush said: if a politician does not blow his own horn, he remains unnoticed. So I have to say: I think I would be able to see the traps that Russia sets. But of course, right now we are not at the stage of entering negotiations at all. At the moment we do not see Russia negotiating in good faith. And first of all, we need to discuss with the member states what concessions we want to see from Russia.”
Without question, Kallas understands Russia better than anyone else in the West and knows what kind of vile tricks to expect from it.

The Traps Are Clear, Talks Are Not
Kallas says she can spot Russia's traps before talks even start.
First, discuss concessions without starting the conversation.
