Ukraine can count on Estonia’s full support on its path to a just and lasting peace. Respect for territorial integrity is the foundation of stable international relations and changing borders by force can never be accepted. These were my messages in today’s call with @ZelenskyyUa

Support #Ukraine on its trail towards just and lasting peace. The principle of territorial integrity must not be tampered with, it is the cornerstone of security and stability in the post IIWW era. Changing borders by military force is unacceptable.

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

A decisive move from Ukraine 🇺🇦 — 331 votes in favor of ensuring the independence of anti-corruption institutions. This is not just about reform — it’s about Ukraine’s unwavering commitment to the fight against corruption & to its 🇪🇺 future. Estonia stands firmly with you.

On Estonia’s Victory Day, we remember the cost of freedom—ours & Ukraine’s. This small gesture from an Estonian child speaks volumes. 🇪🇪🫶🇺🇦 We stand with Ukraine as they continue their fight for independence, sovereignty & freedom.
“When the bombing ends, I want to go to Ukraine & give this card to the good soldiers.” Just an ordinary Estonian child, on an ordinary Sunday — dreaming of peace & victory for Ukraine. 🇪🇪🇺🇦 #StandWithUkraine

An appalling number of people were killed in one of Russia’s most brutal attacks on Kyiv yet. My heart goes out to all those suffering because pressure on Putin to stop has been insufficient. I say it again: only strong, sustained economic & political pressure on Russia can end
I receive regular reports from Minister of Internal Affairs Klymenko and our military commanders on the aftermath of Russia’s massive strike. More than 440 drones and 32 missiles were used. Kyiv has faced one of the most horrific attacks. Also, overnight, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia,

Today Russia detained a Greek tanker Green Admire as it was using a sea route agreed by Estonia, Finland & Russia. Russia continues to behave in an unpredictable manner. Our Allies have been informed.

I welcome the political agreement on the EU’s 17th package of sanctions against Russia. Russia's continued aggression in Ukraine will face mounting consequences. I look forward to adopting the package on Tuesday during the FAC. Our unity is our strength.
