Estonia - Kaja Kallas - Russia - Soviet Monuments

Russian authorities launched criminal proceedings against Estonia's Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, marking the first time a foreign leader has been put on Russia's wanted list.

Russian authorities have initiated criminal proceedings against Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, accusing her of the destruction and damage of monuments to Soviet soldiers. This unprecedented move signifies the first time Russia has targeted a Western leader, raising tensions between the Baltic state and Moscow. The charges against Kallas, including allegations of 'destroying Soviet monuments,' have escalated diplomatic tensions in the region. Kallas' name made its way onto the Interior Ministry's register of wanted individuals, sparking concerns and fears of a potential military buildup by Russia in Estonia. As the Kremlin cites 'desecration of historical memory,' Kallas's status on the wanted list remains a contentious issue.
