Alongside Britain, Estonia has been among Kyiv’s staunchest allies in its efforts to repulse Putin’s forces, delivering more military equipment to Ukraine since February as a portion of GDP per capita than any other country in the world. Kaja Kallas, its prime minister, is in London today and spoke at her country’s embassy. She took questions on a range of topics and didn’t hold back – especially when it came to Emmanuel Macron.
Kallas was very much singing from the same song-sheet as Kuleba when she effectively accused Macron of appeasing genocide
He has tried to position himself as a mediator between Putin and the west throughout this conflict, only to end up being played like a $10 banjo. The Ukrainians are unwilling to cede territory to force while the Russians don’t want to lose face. After Macron’s latest initiative at the weekend – his latest repeat of the call not to humiliate Russia – Kyiv’s foreign minister Dmitro Kuleba hit back and rebuked the president’s position, saying it ‘can only humiliate France’.
