After Russia’s violation of Polish airspace, @NATO has invoked Article 4, showing that any threat to a member’s security will trigger collective consultation and action. The Alliance stands united, strong, and ready to defend, with determination to coordinate further action.
Russia’s overnight drone and missile attacks on Ukraine and repeated violations of Polish airspace are yet another stark reminder that Russia is not just a threat to Ukraine, but to all of Europe and @NATO. It is time to respond with resolve and decisively increase pressure on

86 years ago today, Nazi Germany & the USSR signed the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. They called it a non-aggression pact, which was a lie - its secret deal carved up Europe & condemned the Baltics to decades of Soviet occupation. That pact did more than redraw borders; it set in

Unity & unwavering support for Ukraine were demonstrated in Washington yesterday, along with a shared understanding of the need for strong security guarantees. At the same time, the cost of aggression for Russia must be increased. Quick progress on the #EU's 19th sanctions

The only real measure of success is whether Putin ends his aggression. Following the meeting in Alaska, he clearly has not. Instead of accepting an unconditional ceasefire, Russia launched new missile & drone strikes overnight, targeting Ukraine. At yesterday’s press

The idea that occupation of Ukraine could be “temporary” or “de facto” must be challenged. Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania know that once Russia takes control, reversal takes decades & costs lives. Our joint @FT op-ed with @Braze_Baiba & @BudrysKestutis. https://t.co/AUFa5PtupW

Land swaps and de facto annexation in Ukraine won’t bring peace and could lead to decades of brutal subjugation

EstEmb🇺🇸 & @EstoniaUN Deputy Heads laid flowers at the grave of Ernst Jaakson who safeguarded Estonia's diplomatic presence in the 🇺🇸 until we regained independence in 1991. We also honor his predecessor, Johannes Kaiv, for his important role in preserving our legal continuity.
Today marks 1⃣2⃣0⃣ years since the birth of Ernst Jaakson, the world’s longest-serving diplomat. A symbol of #Estonia’s statehood in exile in the U.S., he upheld 🇪🇪's legal continuity & hope. He firmly believed injustice can’t last forever. His words still resonate today.

Estonia stands firmly with Ukraine 🇺🇦, its sovereignty and territorial integrity. If borders can be changed by force, none are safe. If nations can be forced to live under a bigger neighbour’s dictate, none are free. Sovereignty and territorial integrity are the cornerstones
For the fourth year now, Ukraine has withstood Russia’s full-scale war on land, at sea and in the air. We owe our independence to the courage of our defenders and resilience of our people. Ukrainians deserve a just peace based on the international law and respect for our
