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.
