Kaja Kallas, known for her resolute support for Ukraine against Russian aggression, is stepping down after being appointed as the EU's next chief diplomat, replacing Josep Borrell.
Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas will reportedly succeed Josep Borrell, who has held the position since 2019.
EU leaders have reportedly nominated European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen for a second term, Politico reported on June 25, citing five EU officials.
Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said she was concerned that some other European leaders have not viewed the uptick in incidents of sabotage and arrest of suspected spies across the EU to be interconnected.
The NATO allies' fears that sending troops to Ukraine to train the country's soldiers could draw them into war with Russia "are not well-founded," Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said in an interview with the Financial Times published on May 20.
"We want to have peace, but we want to have sustainable peace and peace on Russia's terms is not sustainable," Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said.
