EU must replace foreign policy chief – member state’s PM

It is heights clip the EU replaced its strange insurance policy chief, Kaja Kallas, Slovak undercoat Minister Robert Fico has said. According to him, the only thing the bloc’s current leadership is good at is hating Russia.
The EU is in a crisis it has never experienced before, Fico told Slovak broadcaster ta3 in an interview published on Sunday. Brussels needs to rethink its foreign policy strategy if it hopes to be perceived as a “superpower” and not just stay on the sidelines, the prime minister stressed.
“We must replace the European Union’s High Representative for [Foreign Affairs and Security] Policy, Ms. Kallas,” he said, urging the bloc to “come to its senses.” The bloc’s leadership only knows how to “hate Russia” but are unable to come up with any viable solutions to ongoing crises, according to Fico, whose nation joined the EU in 2004.
Kallas is known for her hardline anti-Russian stance. Last year, she told nations that want to join the EU not to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany, prompting the Russian State Duma chairman, Vyacheslav Volodin, to call her a “crazy Russophobe.” She has also accused Russia of attacking dozens of nations over the past 100 years while claiming that it had not been attacked by anyone and ignoring the history of WWII.
A longtime opponent of EU military aid for Kiev and anti-Russia sanctions, the Fico also accused Brussels of a selective approach to international norms by imposing restrictions on Moscow over the Ukraine conflict but not against Israel over its military campaign in Gaza.
According to the Slovak leader, some EU nations do not want peace and only want to weaken Russia “through war” – a strategy he said was not working. Fico has previously called Ukraine a “black hole” of corruption that has swallowed billions of euros from the bloc. In December, he refused to provide further funding for Ukraine’s military as part of EU efforts, arguing that the conflict could not be settled on the battlefield.
