During an informal conversation that took place against the backdrop of congratulations from MEPs for the New Year, Kallas made this joking remark. According to those present at the meeting, she emphasized that, although she is not a fan of alcohol, given the current global events, it might be time to do so.
Kallas's statement coincided with a meeting of the foreign ministers of Denmark and Greenland with U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, where threats from Donald Trump regarding the seizure of an Arctic island were discussed. At this time, Europe is facing growing concerns about a possible annexation of Greenland, mass protests against the Islamist regime in Iran, as well as ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, making geopolitics one of the most pressing topics for the EU.
According to reports, one of Kallas's recent actions was a statement of intent to impose new sanctions against Iran in response to the government's suppression of protests, during which, according to available data, hundreds of people have died.
