Estonian PM Kaja Kallas Resigns to Become EU's Top Diplomat

TL;DR Summary
Kaja Kallas, former Estonian Prime Minister, was a strong candidate for NATO Secretary-General but was passed over due to her hardline stance on Russia. Instead, she is now poised to become the EU's High Representative for Foreign Policy, focusing on strengthening defenses against Russia. Her nomination reflects a shift in EU priorities towards a more assertive stance on security. Kallas' experience and background make her a fitting choice, though she faces challenges in balancing EU and NATO roles and addressing broader foreign policy issues, including relations with China and Iran.
