Kaya Kallas believes that the world situation lends itself to this.

EU High Representative for Foreign Policy Kaia Kallas said during an interaction with leaders of political groups in the European Parliament that the current situation in the world looks so difficult that it is a "good moment" to start drinking.

This is reported by Politico.

The statement was reportedly made during an informal discussion that took place after MEPs began congratulating each other on the new year.

According to two sources present at the conversation, Callas noted that she is not a fan of alcohol, but current events in the world force a new assessment of what is happening.

International Context

The authors of the publication note that the statement was made against a backdrop of tense international processes.

At the same time, representatives of Greenland and Denmark were holding talks with U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

The topic of discussion was Donald Trump's statements about the possible establishment of control over Greenland.

The material emphasizes that the comment was made at a time of active discussions about security in the Arctic region and the role of the United States in these processes.
