TL;DR Summary

Russia has put Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas on a wanted list due to her efforts to remove Soviet-era World War II monuments in Estonia, along with other officials from Baltic nations. This move comes amid heightened tensions between Russia and the West, particularly in light of the war in Ukraine. Kallas has been a vocal advocate for increased military assistance to Ukraine and stronger sanctions against Russia. The inclusion of Kallas on the wanted list reflects Russia's efforts to raise the stakes in response to NATO pressure over the war, and it marks the first time the Russian Interior Ministry has put a foreign leader on such a list.
