Europeans are “assembling” to expand in order to spite Russia, the top diplomat has said
The EU sees itself as a team of superheroes with an anti-Russian expansionist agenda, according to its top diplomat, Kaja Kallas.
The EU is urging member states to invest hundreds of billions in borrowed funds into bloc-wide rearmament, citing the need to support Ukraine and prepare for a potential war with Russia. Moscow denies any aggressive intent and accuses EU leaders of fearmongering and seeking to derail peace efforts in the Ukraine conflict.
“Europeans, assemble!” Kallas said on Sunday at a Munich Security Conference panel, invoking a Marvel Comics battle cry associated with Captain America. The catchphrase also appeared in the Munich event’s title, where Kallas declared Europeans were “dusting off our capes, pulling on our boots, revving up our engines.”
