Kaja Kallas: EU efforts for solution in the Ukraine conflict with Trump
On September 13, 2025, EU foreign representative Kaja Kallas confirmed her efforts to improve the relationship between the European Union and the United States under Donald Trump. In a current statement, she emphasized that "the USA is and will remain our most important partner". Kallas notes that the style and the type of politics that the new US government pursues have changed profoundly. Trump's procedure is very business -oriented, which brings a new dynamic in transatlantic relationships. It calls on Europeans to ask themselves the questions, what they want to achieve and which means of printing are available to them.
Kallas estimates that real progress has already been made in the past few weeks, especially with regard to the close coordination with the United States in the procedure against Russia's aggression in Ukraine. Their main goal remains to find common paths to force Vladimir Putin into a peace agreement.
Diplomatic initiatives in the Ukraine conflict
Strategic challenges and priorities of the EU
When she took office, Kaja Kallas promised to strengthen the global position of the EU and to ensure geopolitical and economic security. She emphasized the need for increased investments in defense and more intensive cooperation with international partners. In addition, she emphasized the importance of auxiliary measures for Ukraine and strives for results regarding the EU expansion within the next five years.
Kallas warned that Russia, Iran, North Korea and China aim to change the world order based on rules. For the EU, Ukraine's victory in the war against Russia is a clear priority, which is why it is strong for military, financial and humanitarian support.
Role of the transatlantic partnership
Another important topic is the strengthening of the EU's vertecapability as a deterrent against aggression. Kallas called for permanent support from EU sanctions against Russia, even if this question lacks unity. This underlines the importance of the transatlantic partnership for security and prosperity.
Finally, Kaja Kallas made it clear that the EU does not need separate military forces from NATO, but rather promotes its role in strengthening the defense industry. In a broader context, which also includes the Israel Palestine conflict, it confirmed the EU's obligation to an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian aid as well as to support a long-term two-state solution.
The next steps include the evaluation of Kallas' services by the European Parliament and the election of the new Commission College, which is scheduled for November in Strasbourg.
