Kaja Kallas: The Russia hawk poised to become the EU’s top diplomat

There's a prize on her head in Russia. Now, though, she's wanted in Brussels. Estonian Prime Minister Kaya Kallas has emerged as the candidate for Europe. Centrist coalition for the unions, top diplomatic post high representative. She has been among the most outspoken critics of the Kremlin, earning her a Russian arrest warrant. Putin's war is an act of raw military aggression against an independent and sovereign country that wants nothing more than to fulfill its own European dream. Carlos has made a mark boosting her country's defense capabilities and sending as much aid to Ukraine as possible. With 1.4% of GDP so far, Estonia is amongst the greatest military supporters in relation to population size. How Colors will be able to handle crisis regions in other parts of the world remains to be seen, but her pragmatic and diplomatically skilled style bodes well. She faced a serious scandal a year ago when it transpired at her husband at a stake in a company that had maintained operations in Russia past the invasion. Politics runs in a family. Her father seemed Colours was Estonia's member of the College of EU Commissioners from 2004 until 2014. Later the same year, his daughter was voted into the European Parliament.
