Kaja Kallas Slams IOC: “Russia Targets Civilians — And This Looks Like a Prize” | EU Debates
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas says she cannot guarantee when the EU’s 21st sanctions package against Russia will be agreed, but insists her goal is for the package to remain strong.
Speaking after the Foreign Affairs Council, Kallas says ambassadors will continue work on the package, but stresses that “until everything is agreed, nothing is agreed.” She refuses to say which measures may be removed or kept during negotiations.
Kallas links the urgency of sanctions to Russia’s continued attacks on civilians, especially in heavily populated areas. She says ministers were angry at the International Olympic Committee’s decision to invite Russian athletes back to international competitions, warning that it appears to reward Moscow while Russia is killing civilians in Ukraine.
Her message is clear: Russia must face stronger pressure, the EU must not weaken its response, and international sport must not be used to normalise aggression.

The Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games are right around the corner, and the Propulsion Swimming Podcast is kicking off a brand-new Home Nations preview series! First up: Team England.
We are joined by British swimming veteran Max Litchfield as he prepares for his second Commonwealth Games. Max opens up about the tough lessons he learned as a debutant at the 2014 Glasgow Games, how he handles the quick turnaround between major meets, and why the rivalry between the Home Nations brings out a completely different racing environment compared to swimming for Team GB.
After the interview, we break down the Team England squad. We discuss the heavy expectations on Adam Peaty as he faces one of the deepest breaststroke fields we’ve seen, Freya Colbert’s massive 200m Freestyle clash with the Australians, and Oliver Morgan’s chance to make a major statement in the 100m Backstroke. Plus, we highlight breakout stars like Amelie Smith and Gabe Sheppard, and finish off with some very bold predictions for the English Para-swimmers and relay teams!
