Estonia’s Prime Minister, Kristen Michal, has told Euronews that if Russia is to end the war in Ukraine, then President Vladimir Putin would have to answer a raft of uncomfortable questions from his own people, so continuing the fighting means he stays in power.
“Putin needs conflict, like fish needs water, because if you don't have a conflict, then probably people in Russia will be asking: Where is my son? Where is my husband? Where are my assets?” Michal told Euronews.
