MUNICH, Germany: EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas pushed back Sunday against Europe “bashing” by the United States, as she said Russia must be forced to make concessions in talks to end the Ukraine war.
“Contrary to what some may say, woke, decadent Europe is not facing civilizational erasure,” Kallas said on the last day of the Munich Security Conference.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Saturday reassured allies by saying Washington and Europe “belong together” — but insisted the continent must defend against mass migration to protect its “civilization.”
“The message that we heard is that America and Europe are intertwined, have been in the past and will be in the future. I think this is important,” Kallas said.
“It is also clear that we don’t see eye to eye in all the issues, and this will remain the case,” she said.
