Kallas: “Putin does not get tired; even Hitler, no one believed”
“Russia doesn’t tire easily. We have seen what Putin is capable of, who clearly stated what he wanted to do. At first, no one believed Hitler, even though he had made clear his intentions. This is why we need to act and invest” in weapons production. Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas stated this during her speech at the Munich Security Conference. “Ukraine must defend itself and cannot do it without ammunition.
For this, we need to speed up production. It worries me to know that there are not enough orders from the military industry to increase this production”, added the Estonian premier, who then concluded: “We have to counter the Russian military industry. Moscow blows up Europe’s monthly production in one day”, added Kallas, underlining that the need to increase investments in defense concerns Ukraine and all EU countries.
