Quick Glance: Estonian PM: Putin Spreading Fear of NATO, Yet Afraid Himself
- Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin is attempting to intimidate Western societies to deter their actions. However, it becomes apparent that Putin himself is hesitant about engaging in a war with NATO countries.
