Back to this side of the ocean. The EU summit - after the EU parliamentary election - decided about the fate of leading offices.
President of the European Commission: Ursula von der Leyen again. We know her, we love her.
President of the European Council: Antonio Costa, ex-prime minister of Poortugal who had to resign due to corruption scandal related to:

Oh that green energy and batteries is a damn real good business. He worth his salt that for sure. He is a "socialist" except when it comes to his own pockets politician, who created an alliance from the Left Block, Portuguese Communist Party, and the Ecologist Party "The Greens". Talking about far-right turn in the EU, right?
High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy: Kaja Kallas, the PM of Eesti. The most Hawkish bird of all. She is very liberal which means more weapons, more war these days, for some mysterious reason. Okay I know why Estonians hate Russia. The pretended surprise is not for this.
So she has very anti-Russian stance - this will impact EU's foreign politics stance obviously - but not her husbands who pocketed a nice sum by running transports to Russia with his logistics company when EU countries enacted the sanctions. I think we noted this here on /kc/.
She is also notable for an arrest warrant against her in Russia. This'll make it impossible for her as a foreign affair diplomat to visit Russia. No advancing peace talks on behalf of the EU.
Apparently 'kaja' means echo in Estonian. Oh, she'll echo all the words that'll be given into her mouth.
Such an illustrious trio. The fate of the EU is in good hands.
