TALLINN (Reuters) - Estonia's incoming government will support Ukraine until "victory” in its war with Russia, Prime Minister Kirsten Michal told Reuters in an interview on Tuesday, pledging continuity on the issue with the former administration.

Michal, 49, has replaced Kaja Kallas, who recently resigned to become the European Union's foreign policy chief after emerging as one of the strongest critics of Russia and supporters of Ukraine in the European Union and NATO.
