Russia puts Estonia leader on wanted list for removal of Soviet-era monuments
ai generated text
Russian authorities have declared Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, along with Lithuanian Culture Minister Simonas Kairys and Estonian State Secretary Taimar Peterkop, as "wanted" on criminal charges. This move is seen as a further deterioration in relations between Russia and the Baltic states. The politicians are wanted for their roles in removing monuments to Soviet soldiers, which Russia views as an desecration of historical memory. Kallas has been a strong supporter of Ukraine and has angered Moscow by pushing for the removal of such monuments. There is no immediate reaction from Estonian authorities regarding this matter. This marks the first time a head of government has been sought by Moscow.
