‘The EU wants Ukraine to win this war’: who is its new chief diplomat Kaja Kallas?

She stepped down as Estonia’s prime minister to take up foreign policy role replacing tough talker Josep Borrell

It was no surprise that Kaja Kallas went to Ukraine on her first day as the EU’s chief diplomat.

Kallas, who stepped down as Estonia’s prime minister to take up the role, was accompanied in Kyiv on Sunday by the new European Council president, António Costa, and European enlargement commissioner, Marta Kos, marking the leadership changeover at the EU institutions on 1 December.
