Arriving at the Foreign Affairs Council, Kaja Kallas outlines a packed agenda dominated by security, geopolitics, and Europe’s global partnerships.

Discussions begin with the Western Balkans, focusing on enlargement, reforms, and cooperation against hybrid threats.

On Ukraine, Kallas sharply criticizes Russia’s temporary ceasefire proposal, describing it as cynical while attacks on civilians continued. EU foreign ministers are also expected to advance sanctions linked to the deportation of Ukrainian children and discuss international efforts to help return them.

Relations with Canada are described as stronger than ever, with talks centered on closer coordination on global challenges.

The agenda also includes the Middle East, maritime security, possible sanctions on violent settlers, and discussions on EU naval operations and demining efforts.

Finally, ministers will hold high-level dialogue with Syria as the EU considers steps toward limited re-engagement and support for rebuilding institutions.

A broad overview of the diplomatic and security challenges currently shaping Europe’s foreign policy agenda.
