Estonian PM calls for strong sanctions and 'strategic patience' in dealing with Moscow
Take it from Kaja Kallas: Western allies need “strategic patience” if they want to beat Vladimir Putin.
The Estonian prime minister’s mantra, born out of four generations of family resistance against Moscow power grabs: Keep Putin at the table, without giving anything away.
“I can see clearly what Putin does,” Kallas told POLITICO in an interview Tuesday, warning against giveaways to the Kremlin as pressure mounts to defuse a military buildup of more than 100,000 Russian troops at the Russia-Ukraine border.
Kallas’ great-grandfather was a co-founder of the Estonian Republic in 1918 and its first police chief. Her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother were sent to Siberia as Soviet prisoners, and her father, Siim Kallas, served as one of newly independent Estonia’s first prime ministers from 2002 to 2003. Now, Kaja Kallas is leading a new generation of resistance against Moscow.
