"It is a mistake to believe that the war can be won quickly. Russia is preparing for a long period of war. The war will continue until Russia realizes that it cannot win."

Ukraine’s Western allies must commit to victory over Russia and not fall into “traps” laid by the Kremlin, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said in a Feb. 11 interview with the Austrian news outlet Der Standard.

Kallas has been a vocal supporter of Ukraine since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in early 2022.

“We should not fall into the various traps that have been set,” Kallas said when questioned about the war in Ukraine.

“It is a mistake to believe that the war can be won quickly. Russia is preparing for a long period of war. The war will continue until Russia realizes that it cannot win.”

Kallas’s strong words of support come as doubts rise regarding the long-term stability of Western aid to Ukraine.
