Comment by Estonian Prime Minister Kallas on the Actions of the Russian Federation

13.02.2024 | 16:36

Today's move by the Russian Federation is nothing surprising; it's a familiar scare tactic. Estonia and I remain steadfast in our policy: supporting Ukraine, bolstering European defence, and fighting against Russian propaganda.

Russia may believe that issuing a fictitious arrest warrant will silence Estonia. I refuse to be silenced – I will continue to vocally support Ukraine and advocate for the strengthening of European defences.

Throughout history, Russia has veiled its repressive actions under the guise of “law enforcement.” This hits close to home for me; my grandmother and mother were once deported to Siberia, and it was the KGB who issued the fabricated arrest warrants.

I've always maintained that the Russian regime's criminal toolbox has not changed. We refuse to be intimidated by Russia's scare tactics.
