Russian Duma speaker targets Kallas: "She should see psychiatrist"

The Chairman of Russia’s State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, said that European foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, through her anti-Russian statements, is trying to distance herself from the Soviet past of her parents.

According to TASS, he made the comments on his channel on MAX.

“By trying to distance herself from her parents’ Soviet past, Kallas presents herself as a fighter against Russia,” Volodin wrote. He reminded that Kallas’ father was a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and a government official both in the Estonian SSR and in independent Estonia.

In his post, Volodin noted that Kallas “once again makes statements that contradict common sense and historical facts,” referring to her accusation that Russia had attacked “at least 19 countries in the past 100 years, some of them three or four times.”

The State Duma speaker called the claim incorrect, emphasising that no such list of countries exists.

“Her history lessons in school were poor. Or she didn’t study at all. One could assume she skipped them. Given her father’s high position at the time… Psychiatrists say that all problems originate in childhood. Kallas should see a doctor,” Volodin wrote.
