🇪🇪 CALLOUS KALLAS CHRONICLES:
Estonian PM Kaia Kallas calls for Russians to repent for their history, by recognizing their national guilt and taking personal responsibility, to break "Russia's cycle of violence and aggression."

🗣 "We all read Russian history these days - to try to understand its crimes and the rationale behind it's killing machine,” Kallas said. 🤯

Stalin deported Kallas' family from Estonia to Siberia in 1948 - her grandfather had faught for Hitler in the Omakaitse, an anti-Soviet insurgency in Estonia that also participated in the genocide of Jews. And as Kallas is rumored to be in the running for next Secretary General of NATO - will we come full circle?
