Russia puts Estonian PM Kaja Kallas on wanted list

Russia has put Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas on a wanted list “for the destruction and damage of monuments to Soviet soldiers”, according to Russian news outlets, writes POLITICO.

Estonia’s State Secretary Taimar Peterkop is also on the list, reported Russia’s state-run news agency TASS, citing law enforcement agencies, as is Lithuania’s Culture Minister Simonas Kairys.

Kallas is a fierce critic of Russia over its invasion of Ukraine and has urged EU countries to continue supporting Kyiv “to send a message to Russia that you can’t win, and they can’t bend the will of Ukrainians either’.

In 2022, the Estonian government decided to remove war monuments dating from Soviet times in the eastern city of Narva.
