Prime minister kaja kallas, welcome to hardtalk. Of all the voices of support for ukraine in europe, yours has perhaps been the staunchest, the strongest, the loudest over the last 18 months. Is that because, for you, this isntjust about european security, about geopolitics, it also seems very personal . Well, it is personal, i guess, for, for every estonian. I mean, we are here in the state elder s room and the pictures you see on those walls are of our state elders, so who built our country in 1920s. And if you look at their dates of death, then they all were killed or died in captivity when the occupation started. So for us. They were killed in the soviet union . Yes. So. So this is what we see in ukraine, is our history reliving itself because of the russian aggression. And your family history. If im right, i think your mother was deported along with her mother when she was a baby. Yes, my mother was six months old baby when she was deported to siberia, together with my grandmother
