On February 24, Kalas mentioned plans to meet with Rubio and discuss peace negotiations between Ukraine and the aggressor state, Russia. However, on February 26, the media reported the cancellation of their meeting.
"The EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Kalas, will not meet with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio during this visit due to scheduling conflicts," a source told Europäische Presse.
According to him, the American side is responsible for the planning of the meeting.
"Instead, she [Kalas] will discuss Russia's war against Ukraine and transatlantic relations with American senators and congressmen," the European official stated.
