EU’s Kallas Calls US ‘Biggest Ally’ Amid Security Concerns

Foreign policy chief keeping Washington onside as Ukrainian, US officials continue talks on ending Russia-Ukraine war.

European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas emphasized the importance of the US as Europe’s “biggest ally” during the Doha Forum, despite criticisms in a recent US National Security Strategy. She acknowledged some criticisms of Europe as valid but insisted on unity, stating that rewarding Russian aggression undermines long-term peace. Ongoing discussions between US and Ukrainian officials are aimed at revising proposals for ending the Ukraine war, with calls for a serious commitment to de-escalation from Russia. Kallas urged Europe to recognize its own power and confidence in negotiations.
