Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas and Chancellor Olaf Scholz will speak at the Matthiae meal in Hamburg City Hall. Kallas has been on a Russian wanted list since the beginning of the week.

She is also resolutely committed to European values in view of the Russian war of aggression on Ukraine, the Senate of the Hanseatic city announced on Thursday. The Mat Cynthiae meal has been historically documented since 1356 and is therefore considered the oldest still celebrated feast in the world.
