Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas on February 18 dismissed an arrest warrant issued by Russia, saying it was just an attempt to intimidate her amid speculation she could get a top EU post. Once ruled by Moscow but now an EU and NATO member, Estonia has been a supporter of Kyiv, and Kallas has been one of Moscow's most vocal critics since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Russia placed her and several other Baltic politicians on a wanted list on February 13 for destroying Soviet-era monuments. "It's nothing surprising, and we are not afraid," she told Reuters on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.
