Who is Kaja Kallas? EU leader warns of Russian aggression if the West backs down

NEW YORK — Russia is trying to scare Europe into backing off its defense in the region, European Union’s top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, claims, warning it will only lead to Moscow becoming more aggressive if it succeeds. "Their goal is to intimidate us from not supporting Ukraine, from refraining to support them and pressuring Russia," Kallas told Fox News Digital in an interview on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly. "What is important for us is that we are not afraid," she continued. "Because, otherwise, this kind of intimidation actually pays off, and then we will see more of it across the world." For Kallas, Russia’s attempts to intimidate its European neighbors carry a history that reaches well beyond the war in Ukraine.
