Kallas emphasized that many countries still desire to join the EU. She also addressed the ongoing challenge posed by Russia, particularly in Ukraine, but asserted that Russia is not a superpower and its economy is struggling due to the conflict. Kallas cautioned against allowing Russia to gain more through negotiations than it has achieved on the battlefield. The event also included discussions on increasing defense spending, potential peace talks with Russia, and Ukraine's possible EU accession.
