Kyiv has become London of our times in her courageous resilience in face of nightly air raids with drones and missiles from the kremlin. Just like the nazis that bombed London should z-russian aggression be defeated. Estonia🇪🇪 stands 100% with Ukraine🇺🇦. #StandWithUkraine

Today marks the anniversary of the Minsk II agreement. Its unclear sequencing, lack of enforcement, and nonexistent security guarantees masked Russia’s unwillingness to pursue real peace. The stakes are higher now—and repeating that naïveté would come at an even greater cost.

Stalin and the USSR, which he helped create, slaughtered millions of his own innocent citizens. This is grotesque. Imagine a former German government official showing up to the Olympics with a swastika on his sweater? Why do we tolerate this?

New recruitment ad for Estonian SOF playing ice volley final with our MOD @HPevkur as a referee. The game started at 6.20AM in -0.4F temps that prompted men to quickly warm up in water. Young Estonians can apply to do their conscript service at SOF at https://t.co/xGuJHY9VJi

Despite every russian savage attempt to destroy Ukraine 🇺🇦 and its people, Ukrainians keep fighting. Our duty is clear: we must keep supporting them. As simple as that. FM @Tsahkna delivered 🇪🇪 aid and personal messages directly to Ukraine this week. #WeStandWithUkraine
Grateful for a frank and thorough discussion today in Kyiv with @ZelenskyyUa. I stressed that Estonia, as chair of the Nordic-Baltic cooperation format NB8, will continue to place the achievement of a just and lasting peace in Ukraine at the center of our joint efforts. As

The Critical Minerals Ministerial in Washington marked a milestone in strengthening strategic supply chains vital to our economies and national security. Glad to have been part of it.

Whatever the tactical pauses, Russia’s strategic goals remain unchanged: control Ukraine, recreate an empire, outlast the West. Clarity about this is the starting point for any serious policy response.

Baba Zhenya, a Holocaust survivor, was found frozen to death on January 13. This was Russia’s crime. Bear witness. https://t.co/vWzmT8Igjg

Calls to avoid “demonizing” a country waging the most brutal war in Europe since World War II and even hints at renewed energy cooperation are nothing short of appalling. Russia’s full-scale aggression against Ukraine is the direct result of years of appeasement and decades of

President Trump’s announcement to impose tariffs on several European countries is surprising and regrettable, especially as Europeans are following the steps the U.S. has advocated—strengthening our shared security in the Arctic. Such tariffs would affect the entire European

In 2 days, Russia’s full-scale invasion will have lasted longer than the German-Soviet War. What Putin thought was going to be a 3-day “Special Military Operation” has turned into one of the longest and most destructive wars in Russia’s history.

Europe is open for business and a serious investor in deep tech. I joined Ambs. @varvuolis, @kprikk and @EdBRZA to discuss how modern policy, strong innovation ecosystems, and transatlantic cooperation protect what innovation needs most: funding certainty and academic freedom.
