Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas ended her 16-month governing coalition after weeks of political squabbling, saying she’ll seek to form a new alliance as the Baltic nation confronts its biggest security threat in decades.
“There needs to be a functioning government that has shared values,” Kallas, the 44-year-old leader whose popularity has soared with her hard line on Russian President Vladimir Putin, said in an interview in Tallinn on Friday.
