Kaja Kallas, the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security stated in a recent interview that the EU is ready to take over support for Ukraine if the US cannot continue its assistance. She emphasised that no US leader wants Russia to become a dominant global power.
In her discussion with Le Monde and AFP, Kallas addressed Elon Musk’s controversial posts on his platform, X, and highlighted the need to separate his personal opinions from the company’s actions, warning that non-compliance with the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) could have consequences.
When asked about Donald Trump’s comments on Greenland potentially joining the U.S., Kallas acknowledged the Arctic’s strategic importance while reaffirming respect for Denmark’s sovereignty. She agreed with Trump’s call for EU countries to increase defence spending and underscored that aiding Ukraine is vital for both European and global security.
Kallas warned that if Russia wins the war, it may embolden other nations with imperial ambitions, particularly China, reinforcing the need for US opposition to Russia.
Europe is building up its military, most of them well beyond the NATO limit by now, a few, like Poland, even beyond the USA. If it will be enough when shit hits the fan? I’m afraid not yet, but likely can put up at least something of a fight.
