"Rat", "wolf". The Prime Minister of Estonia does not retract his words about Putin and responds to the Pentagon.

Estonian Prime Minister Michal reaffirmed his critical stance on Russian President Putin, labeling him a dictator responsible for violence against civilians. He emphasized the importance of openly discussing real threats and criticized appeasement towards dictators, stating it leads to humiliation. Estonia allocates nearly 7% of its GDP to NATO and defense, and Michal believes in calling out aggressors directly. Reports suggest the Pentagon has urged Baltic states to moderate their rhetoric towards Russia, citing Michal's previous comments comparing Putin to a cornered rat as an example of inappropriate language.
