## Resource

The EU’s diplomatic powerhouse, the EEAS, is in crisis—struggling with budget cuts, brain drain, and a tangled power struggle with the Commission, all as global tensions rise. Despite past wins like Russia sanctions, its lack of clear goals and real clout undermines its mission. Born from a late-night compromise, its fractured structure and dual reporting lines to EU leaders and the Commission only deepen the chaos. New reforms under Chief Kaja Kallas aim to revitalize the agency, but skeptics question if they can fix deep-rooted flaws. With looming budget threats and an urgent need for a new mission, the EEAS’s survival—and the EU’s global voice—hangs in the balance.
