Estonian PM Kallas Targeted by Russia, Added to Wanted List

Kaja Kallas, Estonia's Prime Minister, faces unspecified charges by Russia amid escalating tensions over Soviet-era monument removals and support for Ukraine.

  • Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas has been added to Russia's wanted list due to her efforts to remove Soviet-era World War II monuments, escalating tensions between Russia and the West.
  • Kallas dismisses the warrant as a scare tactic, reaffirming her commitment to supporting Ukraine and strengthening European defense.
  • The move reflects Russia's response to NATO and EU pressure, with Kallas being a vocal advocate for increased military assistance to Ukraine and stronger sanctions against Russia.
  • This marks the first time the Russian Interior Ministry has placed a foreign leader on its wanted list, including other officials from Baltic nations and Poland.
  • The situation comes amid concerns over the U.S. election's impact on NATO, with former President Donald Trump's comments causing alarm among European allies.
