Estonia's Prime Minister Kaja Kallas has been added to a wanted list in Russia, reportedly due to her efforts in removing Soviet-era World War II monuments in Estonia. The move comes amid escalating tensions between Russia and the West, particularly in light of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. While the charges against Kallas have not been specified by the Russian Interior Ministry, it is believed to be related to her advocacy for removing the monuments that are viewed as symbols of Soviet occupation.
Estonia, along with other NATO members Latvia and Lithuania, has been actively seeking to remove these WWII monuments, which are seen as a painful reminder of the Soviet regime's control over the Baltic countries. However, Moscow has strongly condemned these actions, viewing them as a disrespect to the memory of the Soviet soldiers who fought against the Nazis.
