I mean yeah, we do have iron in that fire.

Europe could never be a neutral mediator between Russia and Ukraine, she added, since the bloc stood by Ukraine's side and was also defending its own security interests.

I can only assume this is terrible clickbait because what average person would know who „EU‘s Kallas“ is? I swear „‘s “ is the new „SLAMS“ of headlines. It‘s the EU‘s foreign policy chief by they way. They say so in the first sentence.

What?
Kaja Kallas is one of the most prominent politicians in EU!
She is very often in the forefront on questions about the war in Ukraine and now also Iran. Apart from that she's a goddam superstar in EU IMO.

And this is in her area of responsibility.

"We are not coming in instead of the United States," she said.

So, zilch?
