 Russia will not intimidate me, says Estonia's Kallas, after Moscow
==========

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas dismissed a warrant issued by Russia for her arrest, stating it was an attempt to intimidate her. Kallas has been a vocal critic of Moscow since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The arrest warrant was issued on February 13 for destroying Soviet-era monuments. Kallas believes the warrant is meant to make her refrain from making certain decisions. She stated that Russia's aggression towards her is also fueled by speculation that she could take on a senior role in the European Union after the next parliamentary elections. Estonia has been a supporter of Ukraine and has initiated talks to boost European munition supplies to Ukraine. The European Union has agreed to send one million rounds of artillery ammunition to Kyiv by March 2024. Kallas stated that the initiative revealed a shortage of munitions and the need for faster production. The Baltic politicians on the wanted list risk arrest only if they cross the Russian border.
