The EU's chief diplomat, Kaja Kallas, responded to the speech by U.S. Vice President JD Vance at the Munich Security Conference. According to her, the U.S. is "trying to create discord" with Europe.

This was reported by RBK-Ukraine citing The Guardian.

She stated that it seems as if Washington is "trying to start a quarrel" with Europe.
