New EU Leaders Show Solidarity with Ukraine

The arrival of Kaja Kallas and António Costa in Kyiv marks a significant moment for the European Union. As the newly appointed leaders, they aim to convey a strong message of solidarity with Ukraine amidst ongoing conflict.

Costa, now the President of the EU Council, emphasized the commitment of the EU to support Ukraine, stating their presence is a testament to their unwavering support. Kallas, the new High Representative for Foreign Affairs, echoed the sentiment, acknowledging the grave situation in Ukraine while asserting that Russia bears a heavy cost for its aggression.

This visit not only highlights the EU’s continued backing of Ukraine but also signifies a shift in leadership towards a more assertive stance against Russian actions. Both leaders, having assumed their roles just days prior, are determined to reinforce the EU's position in international diplomacy.

The discussions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are expected to further solidify this alliance and explore avenues for continued support. As the EU navigates the complexities of the ongoing war, Kallas and Costa's leadership will be pivotal in shaping its foreign policy and response to the crisis.
