Defining the News
“One of the downsides of a political career, Kaja Kallas, a trenchant Russia critic, sometimes complains, is never having enough time to dance”
The 47-year-old lawyer was first elected to parliament in the Baltic nation in 2011 for the liberal Reform Party founded by her father. After her EU stint, Kallas made a comeback to national politics in 2018, taking the helm of the Reform Party and became the first woman prime minister of Estonia in 2021.
Despite her country’s small size, Kallas has punched above its weight on the EU stage — championing plans to ramp up artillery shell supplies to Kyiv and bolster Europe’s defenses. But she had to face a crisis of confidence in 2023 after local media reported that a company partly owned by her husband was continuing to operate in Russia.
But despite openly expressing interest in the job, Kallas failed to gain traction with more cautious allies who saw her as too outspoken on Russia.
