#Kaja_Kallas: The #US had not used "all the tools" at its disposal to put pressure on #Russia – #France_24
In an interview with #AFP, she said #Kyiv and our #European Allies were hoping that #Washington would take a harder line with #Moscow.
"They have the tools in their hands to really put pressure on #Russia. Why don't they use them to end this war?"
She added that #Russia is "playing games, trying to buy time, and doesn't really want peace."
️"It takes two to want peace, but it only takes one to want war." It is clear that "#Russia wants war."
️What is clear is that #China is the key enabler or #Russia's war. Without #Chinese support, #Russia wouldn't be able to wage the war in the amount that they are waging. We see that 80% of the dual-use goods are entering #Russia via #China."

"#NATO is not the thing that #Russia is afraid of. #Russian is afraid of democracy expanding to #Russia. Why are we in #NATO? It is because we are afraid of #Russia. And the only thing that really works – the only security guarantee that works – is #NATO's umbrella," #Kaja_Kallas said in an interview with #AFP in #Washington

The #EU is ready to take the initiative to support #Ukraine if the #US no longer wants to
The head of European diplomacy, #Kaja_Kallas, made this statement today, #Politico writes. She added that “we should not speculate about future #US support,” because “it is not in #America’s interests for #Russia to be the strongest in the world.”
"I am really confident that all the other #EU members, and hopefully the #US, is ready to continue to support #Ukraine.
#EU will provide #Ukraine EUR 1.5 billion of financial aid per month in 2025, #EU foreign affairs chief #Kaja_Kallas announced at the press conference following the meeting of #EU foreign ministers.
These funds will be derived from frozen #Russian assets.

President of the European Council #António_Costa, European diplomacy chief #Kaja_Kallas, and Enlargement Commissioner #Marta_Kos arrived in #Kyiv this morning.
It should be noted that December 1st is their first day in office. In #Kyiv, they plan to meet with President #Zelensky, #dpa reports. They are also expected to meet with other representatives of the #Ukrainian government, parliament, and civil society.
Victory of #Ukraine is a priority for us all. The situation on the battlefield is very difficult. That is why we must keep on working every day... This must be underpinned by a clear path for #Ukraine to join the #European_Union," – #Kaja_Kallas.
#Kaja_Kallas emphasized that by supporting #Ukraine, the #EU is fighting for its own European security and European values, defending the #UN Charter and its global principles.

#Kaja_Kallas is convinced that #Ukraine should become a member of #NATO if the Alliance wants to get rid of conflicts and "grey zones" in Europe.

"But the war in #Ukraine and our response to it also determine whether #NATO is credible. Whether it is also acting as deterrence for #Russia. Why we don't have a war in #NATO countries is because #Russia is not taking up that fight. Why #Ukraine is having this war is because they are in the grey zone. They are not under #NATO's umbrella," #Kaja_Kallas.
According to him, this year, #Russia has stated that it does not agree with the placement of around half of the 250 buoys. Last night, #Russian border guards removed 24 buoys, some of which were among those with which #Russia disagreed.
Prime Minister #Kaja_Kallas stated that #Tallinn will approach the case in a balanced manner and, if necessary, consult with its allies.

NEWSFLASH:
"#solovyov said something actually true!
A pity he was only quoting, #Kaja_Kallas. And she was only quoting the words of #Timothy_Snyder, but it's a start.

#Putin wants us to be afraid and not support #Ukraine because of fear. We must not fall into this trap, — #Estonian Prime Minister #Kaja_Kallas.
"We are held back by fear. Countries have different fears, whether nuclear fear, fear of escalation, or fear of migration. We must not fall into the trap of fear because that is exactly what #Putin wants. He wants us to be afraid and not support #Ukraine out of fear," #Kaja_Kallas said during a discussion on support for #Ukraine
#Putin aims to make life in #Ukraine unbearable to trigger a migration crisis in the #EU, according to #Estonian Prime Minister #Kaja_Kallas.
“#Russia is pushing migrants across the border as a strategic weapon. While respecting human rights, #EU countries have an obligation to accept these people,” #Kallas stated.
