The conflict between Moscow and Kiev should end with the defeat and breakup of the Russian Federation, Estonia’s Prime Minister Kaja Kallas has said.
Kallas offered the suggestion on Saturday during a debate which was part of the 17th Lennart Meri Conference in the country’s capital, Tallinn, dedicated to supporting Ukraine.
"Russia’s defeat is not a bad thing because then you know there could really be a change in society,” the prime minister argued.
She argued that the Russian Federation is comprised of “many different nations” and suggested that they should become separate states after the end of the conflict between Moscow and Kiev.
"I think if you would have more like small nations... it is not a bad thing if the big power is actually [made] much smaller,” Kallas argued.
The Constitution of the Russian Federation describes it as a multinational state. According to the 2020-2021 census, the country’s population speaks 155 different languages, with Russian being the most common.

Should the opinions of a country's minority populations be a deciding factor in altering its borders?

How would the world change if large countries were broken into smaller states based on cultural or ethnic lines?
