Kallas grilled on Ukraine aid as leaders asks if cash will fund ‘golden toilets’ after EU raid

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas faced tough questions from MEPs over corruption concerns linked to Ukraine aid and her own institution. AfD MEP Alexander Sell asked how Kallas could ensure billions sent to Ukraine are not misused on “golden toilets” following scandals involving former EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini. The hearing’s format prevented a direct answer, but Kallas defended the EU’s transparency and liberal standards, while addressing criticism from the U.S. about Europe’s democratic credibility. This session highlights ongoing scrutiny of EU funds, Ukraine aid oversight, and the challenges of maintaining accountability in high-stakes international diplomacy.
