NATO Country Says Goal Should Be Breakup Of The Russian Federation<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

\n

Last week, Russian media took note of the latest provocative statements by Estonia\u2019s Prime Minister Kaja Kallas. She has led Russia’s tiny Baltic neighbor into a firm hawkish anti-Moscow position. The country was part of the wave of eastern European nations to join NATO in the mid-2000s during the Bush era.<\/p>\n

She’s calling for the breakup of the Russian Federation<\/strong>.\u00a0Kallas proposed during a debate in the country’s capital of Tallinn last week that\u00a0Russia could become much “smaller”<\/strong>\u00a0as a desired outcome of the Ukraine war.<\/p>\n

“Russia\u2019s defeat is not a bad thing<\/strong>\u00a0because then you know there could really be a change in society,”\u00a0the prime minister told the 17th Lennart Meri Conference, as translated in Russia’s\u00a0RT<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She said that currently the Russian Federation can actually be seen as making up\u00a0“many different nations”<\/strong>\u00a0and that they could be naturally broken into separate states.<\/p>\n

“I think if you would have more like small nations… it is not a bad thing if the big power is actually [made] much smaller,”<\/strong>\u00a0Kallas asserted.<\/p>\n

Despite its small size Estonia has been outspoken over the last several months related to the war. For example it recently appeared to back French President Macron’s call for NATO to consider sending Western troops\u00a0to Ukraine<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The government of\u00a0Estonia\u00a0is\u00a0\u201cseriously\u201d discussing the possibility of sending troops into western Ukraine to take over non-direct combat, \u201crear\u201d roles<\/strong>\u00a0from Ukrainian forces in order to free them up to fight on the front, though no decision is imminent, Tallinn\u2019s national security advisor to the president told Breaking Defense.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, these troops would face the possibility of direct attack by Russian aerial forces, even if in the “rear” and far away from front battle lines.<\/p>\n
