EU-Russia relations could suffer because of top job appointments in the bloc, according
00:06
to a Kremlin spokesperson.
00:09
Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov said the outlook for EU-Russia relations was negative
00:15
going forward after top jobs were carved up, with Ursula von der Leyen and Kaya Kalas taking
00:21
leading roles.
00:22
Ms. Kalas has not shown any diplomatic inclinations and is well known for her intolerant and sometimes
00:36
even blasphemous statements.
00:39
So we don't think that European diplomacy will work in any way to normalise relations.
00:49
Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Kalas has been a driving
00:55
force within the EU to punish Russia with sanctions.
01:00
The strength of her anti-Russia stance had sparked speculation as to whether she would
01:05
end up in the top diplomatic role for fear of provoking Moscow.
