Europe’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas on Sunday responded firmly to recent US comments, reiterating that Europe is not under civilisational threat and calling for tougher conditions on Moscow in any Ukraine peace deal.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Kallas said, "Contrary to what some may say, woke, decadent Europe is not facing civilisational erasure." She also struck a sharp note on Moscow, saying Russia must not gain diplomatically what it failed to secure militarily and describing it as “no superpower” and “broken.” She stressed that European defence “starts in Ukraine” and argued that Moscow should face limits on its military, pay war damages and be held accountable for war crimes, AFP reported.
