China must face ‘higher cost’ for backing Russia in Ukraine, says next EU foreign policy chief
China should face “a higher cost” for supporting Russia in the war against Ukraine, the EU’s incoming foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, has said.
The former Estonian prime minister was speaking to MEPs during a three-hour hearing before she takes office, when she listed Ukraine’s victory as a priority – stronger words than vaguer formulas of support voiced by some EU politicians.
“Victory of Ukraine is a priority for us all; the situation on the battlefield is very difficult,” Kallas told MEPs in her opening remarks. “That is why we must keep on working every day, today, tomorrow and for as long as it takes, and with as much military, financial and humanitarian aid as needed.”

And how is EU going to do that? Besides, EU could provide enough weapons and munition to Ukraine, drop stupid restrictions on their use, instead of whining.
Likely economically. Currently China will be wary of USA sanctions on trump and Russia having favour from trump. They won’t want to be on the outside o while their economy is already slowing down.
Perhaps, but OTOH EU might be more dependant on China than the other way round. Either way tariffs and similar aren't a good prospect for either block. The same goes for USA, of course.
Well, by doing what you said 😁 and producing more weaponry and sending it to ukraine, training ukrainian soldiers, techies, pilots, ... There are tons of things that can be done and Kallas wants us to do it which is great IMO.
The EU dwarfs russia, we just have to do it.
