EU foreign ministers convened for urgent talks on Sunday morning in Munich following a controversial speech by U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, which raised concerns over shifting transatlantic relations.
According to Ukrainian news outlet European Pravda, the meeting, led by EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, underscored Europe’s united stance in supporting Ukraine and bolstering its own defense. “We are wrapping up the 2025 Munich Security Conference with a productive conversation among EU foreign ministers still in Munich. Europe remains steadfast in backing Ukraine, and new initiatives will follow soon,” Kallas said.
Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen also chimed in, reaffirming Europe’s commitment to defending the free world. “Europe stands united in supporting Ukraine,” Valtonen declared.
The emergency meeting, called by Kallas, was seen as a direct response to Vance’s provocative speech, in which he appeared to signal a shift in U.S.-European relations. Many EU officials, including Kallas, rejected the suggestion that the U.S. was trying to sow division within Europe, emphasizing their commitment to a united front.
