Russia has issued an arrest warrant for Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, making her the first foreign leader to be put on a wanted list by the Russian Interior Ministry. The arrest warrant comes after Kallas expressed support for dismantling a Soviet-era monument in the Estonian city of Narva. The Russian authorities did not specify the charges pressed against Kallas and Estonian State Secretary Taimar Peterkop, who is also on the wanted list. The move is seen as an escalation of tensions between Russia and the West over Ukraine.
