#KAJA KALLAS

Kaja Kallas said America and Europe ‘have to work together’.

The EU’s newly appointed foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, has doubled down on a tough stance on Moscow, announcing fresh financial support for Ukraine, a zero-tolerance position on Russia’s military presence in Syria and a call for sanctions on Georgia’s ruling pro-Russian party.

The EU will not lift sanctions on Syria before its new rulers ensure minorities are not persecuted and women’s rights are protected within a unified government that disavows religious extremism, the EU’s top diplomat said.

Top diplomats from the United States, Turkey, the European Union and Arab nations have agreed that a new government in Syria should respect minority rights, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Saturday following talks in Jordan and direct contacts with the rebels who ousted president Bashar al-Assad.

Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s incoming foreign policy chief, cautioned on Tuesday against making assumptions about what U.S. President-elect Donald Trump would do in Ukraine and warned that isolationism had never worked for the United States.

Kaja Kallas, the Estonian prime minister, is in line to become the EU’s foreign policy chief, an appointment that, if approved, could propel one of Ukraine's most ardent supporters to one of the world’s leading diplomatic posts.

TVP World asked Estonia’s leader on how similar historical experiences brings about a sense of mutual understanding between Warsaw and Tallinn.

Kallas is among the leaders who arrived in Warsaw to discuss the priorities of the European Council for the years 2025-2029.
