Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas is set to become the EU's new foreign policy chief, advocating for a tougher stance against Russia. She controversially defines victory in Ukraine as breaking Russia into smaller states and supports pushing Russia back, maintaining sanctions, and integrating Ukraine into the EU and NATO. This signals a more confrontational EU approach, likely intensifying tensions with Moscow. Russia, meanwhile, remains committed to its military objectives in Ukraine, setting the stage for continued conflict.

00:00BREAKING RUSSIA IS THE SOLUTION FOR UKRAINE Estonian PM�s bold statement surfaces online.
00:13Is the EU�s policy against Moscow clear?
00:19Estonian Prime Minister Kajakalis is set to become the European Union�s new foreign
00:24policy chief, marking a significant shift in EU�s approach to the ongoing war in Ukraine
00:28and the relations with Russia.
00:31Kajakalis has gained attention for her firm stance on Ukraine and her controversial definition
00:36of victory, which she described as the fragmentation of Russia into smaller pieces.
00:41The statement, made at the recent Lennart-Meri conference, has raised eyebrows and signalled
00:47a more confrontational approach from the EU.
01:17While not explicitly declaring war, Kajakalis�s position indicates a more militaristic strategy
01:22that the EU seems to be adopting.
01:25Her impending appointment reflects the bloc�s growing determination to address the conflict
01:30and the broader geopolitical implications.
01:33Kajakalis advocates for several key actions, like helping Ukraine to push back Russia at
01:38borders, maintaining the pressure on Moscow through sanctions until Ukraine�s territorial
01:44integrity is restored, then demanding reparations from Russia and holding Russian leadership
01:50accountable for the war, and then integrating Ukraine into both EU and NATO to achieve a
01:55stable peace in Europe.
01:58These goals represent a hard-line approach against the Russian aggression and are likely
02:02to shape EU�s foreign policy in the coming years moving forward.
02:07The focus will be now on strengthening security measures and supporting Ukraine�s sovereignty,
02:12which may lead to increased tensions with Moscow.
02:14It�s also worth noting that Russia has already issued an arrest warrant against Kajakalis
02:20over the campaign to remove Soviet World War II memorials in Estonia.
02:25This action highlights the already strained relation between Russia and the EU.
02:29From the Russian perspective, as stated by the authorities, they will continue their
02:33military operation until the goals are achieved.
02:36The goals include ensuring the security of Russian-speaking population in Ukraine, then
02:41demilitarising and denazifying Ukraine, and then preventing Ukraine to become a member
02:46of NATO.
02:47Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has also stated that if the US and allies wish
02:51for the war to be decided militarily, Russia is prepared for that outcome too.
02:56Kalas�s appointment and her stated goals represent a pivotal moment in EU foreign policy.
03:01Her leadership is expected to guide EU towards a more assertive stance in international affairs,
03:07particularly concerning Russia and Ukraine.
03:09This shift can lead to a challenging and potential turbulent period between EU and Russia relations.
03:15As the situation will develop, it will be crucial to monitor how Kalas�s policies
03:19are implemented and the impact of that on the ongoing war, regional stability, and broader
03:25international relations too.
03:26The coming months and years may see significant changes in geopolitical landscape of Europe
03:32and beyond.
