High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy

My name is Kanyan Tagod Frikampamba.

Pope Leo XIV on Friday received an audience at the Vatican, Ms. Kaja Kallas, the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and also doubles as Vice President of the European Commission.

Following her papal audience, the EU High Representative Kallas went on to have further institutional talks with the Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin.

This was before continuing with her diplomatic agenda in Rome.

Absolutely extraordinary.

Now, Ukraine's Minister of Defense, reasonably new Minister of Defense, Evgeni Kamara, he was addressing EU defense ministers at the Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels yesterday, chaired by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and future France's fantasy Kaya Callas.

Mr. Kamara, he was dialing in via VTC.

He said, "Russia's goal has not changed: to subjugate all of Ukraine.

Uh, you probably have as well.

Uh, Kaja Kallas, the European Union High Representative for Foreign Pol- Foreign and Security Policy, she typically speaks about, we were talking about double standards a moment ago, she typically speaks about Russia's, um, uh, illegal and unprovoked, uh, war of aggression in Ukraine and the situation in the Middle East.

And sometimes you have these two [laughs] in the same sentence.

Whereas, of course, if she were consistent, she would also refer to the attack on Iran, uh, as illegal and unprovoked, because there's absolutely no doubt that it was.

It doesn't mean that it will not revive, obviously not, but for the moment we have the situation as described by the Commission.

What is more to mention here is that this trend is continuing even in 2026 lately, and new legislation on foreign funding and political activity adopted in March 2026 by Georgian authorities, which was heavily criticized by the EU, especially by the High Representative, And also, quite recently in May, the EU public message remained that the opportunity for membership still exists, which is obviously great to hear, but the current governmental trajectory is moving Georgia away from it.

This is important to note.

I believe I would not say that Georgia has permanently lost its European future, but I would rather say it is not the case.

I think it could be von der Leyen, but then the member states don't really want her to.

You have Kaya Collis and the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy.

And there's a lot of critiques that she's too focused on Russia.

I think some of those are on point.

European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallers has called on member states to apply the same trade principle to Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria that the EU uses for Russian-occupied Crimea.

Kallers, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, stated that the bloc should be consistent in its treatment of territories it considers occupied in violation of international law.

She argued for an EU-wide prohibition on imports originating from these communities, telling the Irish Times, We should have the same principled stance, you know this is illegal, everybody agrees, so we should stop trading with occupied territories.

Callas explicitly drew a parallel with Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014, a move met with EU import bans on Crimean goods.
