Estonia’s Prime Minister, Kaja Kallas, has told the BBC that Russia’s Vladimir Putin is “afraid” of a war with Nato.

The leader of Estonia, which borders Russia, warned that while Putin is good at “sowing fear”, his threats must also be taken seriously.

Ms Kallas added that Nato countries do not want to go to war with Russia either.

She has previously called on European countries to bolster support for Ukraine, warning that war could expand “very fast in Europe, so no country is left untouched” if Vladimir Putin wins.

    What matters is that she’s a very strong supporter of Ukraine.
    Guilt By Association is popular in Russia. Stalin used it all the time.
    Do you like it?

      It’s less emotional.

      She’s a politician and her family was profiting off Russia and off Russian sanctions. She has a conflicting interest in maintaining the slow pace of this war and ending the war.
