Estonia’s president plays down criticism over Putin meeting
Kersti Kaljulaid’s Moscow visit has provoked flurry of criticism from the other Baltic states
Estonia’s president, Kersti Kaljulaid, has brushed off criticism of her recent visit to Moscow to meet Vladimir Putin, the first meeting between the Russian president and a leader of one of the three Baltic states in nearly a decade.
“Talking to all neighbours is only natural, and it’s a bit unnatural that I have to explain it,” she told the Guardian, in an interview in Tallinn.
