> new eu diplomacy chief kaja kallas gave the first interview since assuming the position. kaja kallas drew a connection between the recent developments in syria and the ongoing war in ukraine, suggesting that russia's failure to maintain its support for syrian president bashar al-assad could be a sign of vulnerability. "what we saw in syria is they are not able to keep up that fight," kallas said, referring to russias struggle to sustain its ally in the region. "russia was somewhat humiliated in syria," kallas observed, adding that russia's attention was "elsewhere," which may have implications for its military strategy in ukraine. she emphasized that the war for ukraine remains winnable, drawing a parallel between russia's setbacks in syria and the potential for similar challenges in ukraine. source:   dec/12/use-frozen-russian-assets-to -aid-ukraine-says-eus-top-diplomat > part 2
