Europe rejects Kallas’s mission as a negotiator with Russia

Politico: The EU believes that Kallas has ruled herself out as a potential negotiator in the dialogue with Russia.
elchi reports that the head of European Union diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, has ruled herself out as a potential negotiator in the dialogue with Russia. Politico reports this citing a high-ranking European official.
“Unfortunately, she has ruled out her participation,” the source said.
Meanwhile, three other European diplomats contacted by journalists noted that Kallas’s aggressive rhetoric against Moscow would prevent her from reaching an agreement with Russia.
Previously, the Kremlin had also expressed skepticism about Kallas, the head of European diplomacy, being able to act as a negotiator with Russia, despite her stating that she was ready to take on this role. The press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, noted that a politician who does not make harsh attacks against Moscow would be suitable for the EU dialogue. The head of European diplomacy has admitted that she could represent the European Union in future negotiations with Russia.
