Estonian PM Kaja Kallas Eyes NATO's Top Role

Despite Controversy at Home, Kallas Expresses Interest in NATO Leadership Amid Ongoing Ukraine-Russia Conflict

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas has expressed interest in becoming the next secretary general of NATO when the current chief, Jens Stoltenberg, steps down.
Kallas has been a leading critic of Russia within the European Union and NATO, and has advocated for more comprehensive defense plans for the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
Kallas believes that Ukraine can win the war against Russia and rejects the notion that the conflict is at a stalemate.
Despite her interest in the NATO role, Kallas plans to seek another term as the chair of Estonia's center-right political party.
Kallas' popularity in Estonia has suffered due to controversy surrounding her husband's business activities in Russia.
