‘Break Russia Into Pieces’:Estonian Pm Kaja Kallas Expected To Be Eu's Foreign Policy Chief| Watch

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas is set to become the EU's new foreign policy chief, advocating for a tougher stance against Russia. She controversially defines victory in Ukraine as breaking Russia into smaller states and supports pushing Russia back, maintaining sanctions, and integrating Ukraine into the EU and NATO. This signals a more confrontational EU approach, likely intensifying tensions with Moscow. Russia, meanwhile, remains committed to its military objectives in Ukraine, setting the stage for continued conflict. #EstonianPM #KajaKallas #Ukrainewar #RussiaUkrainewar #EU #Euronews #Moscow #RussiaUkrainewar #Ukrainewarlive #Warnews #Oneindia #Oneindianews ukraine,russia,estonia,russia ukraine war,russia ukraine,russia ukraine news,ukraine russia,russia vs ukraine,ukraine war,ukraine russia news,russia ukraine conflict,ukraine vs russia,ukraine russia war,russia war ukraine,russia vs ukraine war update,ukraine news, russia ukraine war russian,estonia ukraine,estonia russia,ukraine russian,estonia russia war,ukraine and russia,russia and ukraine,estonia russia 2024, Oneindia, Oneindia news ~PR.320~ED.101~HT.318~GR.125~
