Kaja Kallas, a former Estonian prime minister and known advocate of a tough stance on Russia, assumed her role as the European Union’s foreign policy chief on December 1. In her remarks, Kallas suggested that unwavering Western support for Ukraine could deter China from pursuing aggressive actions against Taiwan. “If you are really firm and you are not giving them what they want, it’s more probable that you won’t have more wars,” she said, hinting at the broader implications of Western resolve.
Kallas also weighed in on the issue of Russian assets frozen by the West following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. While acknowledging that Russia might have a “legitimate claim” to these seized assets under international law, she argued that the funds should first be used to help rebuild Ukraine. “But I doubt there is anything left over,” she remarked, underscoring the scale of resources needed for Ukraine’s recovery.
