As Russian troops continue to expand at Ukraine's borders, Estonia's prime minister speaks to T&G on Sunday about what some regard as the most dangerous geopolitical crisis for a generation.

Asked about whether Estonia could follow Ukraine's path and be the subject of Russia's threat, Kaja Kallas says: "If you have a school bully but you also have strong and big friends, then the bully might not bully you.

"This (this situation for Estonia) is different from Ukraine in the sense that we are part of NATO so we don't see any direct military threat but...when the problem escalates, or the situation escalates in Ukraine, it affects all of Europe's security."

She also added that Estonia was grateful for the 800 British troops already there, and that she would welcome more in order to help bolster defences against a possible attack from Vladimir Putin.
