Estonian prime minister says Putin is "afraid" of war with Nato
Estonia's Prime Minister, Kaja Kallas, has told the BBC that Russia's Vladimir Putin is "afraid" of a war with Nato.
The leader of Estonia, which borders Russia, warned that while Putin is good at "sowing fear", his threats must also be taken seriously.
Ms Kallas added that Nato countries do not want to go to war with Russia either.
She has previously called on European countries to bolster support for Ukraine, warning that war could expand "very fast in Europe, so no country is left untouched" if Vladimir Putin wins.
