Philippot accused Callas of seeking to start a conflict with Russia.

French politician Florian Philippot called the head of EU diplomacy, Kai Callas, a "recognized jerk" and accused him of seeking to start a war with Russia.

"So, we have a nobody, recognized as such by everyone, who is leading us to war against Russia," he wrote on April 1 on the social network X (ex.Twitter)

According to Philippot, Callas' anti-Russian policy not only leads to a possible conflict, but also costs the European Union a lot of money.

"Obviously, this position should not exist, since there can be no diplomacy in the EU," the politician concluded.
