Born under Soviet occupation, I had never experienced freedom. Now I can stand here and breathe that same air of freedom.
If we do everything to help Ukraine, there will be no 11-year-olds for whom the air of freedom is something they only experience from a distance. 2/8
Here’s what I focused on in my Berlin Speech on Freedom @FNFreiheit.
🧵 When I was 11, my dad took us to see the wall by the Branderburg Gate. He said: “Breathe in deeply – that’s the air of freedom that comes from the other side.” 1/8
Focused on NATO Madrid Summit with Defence Minister Lambrecht.
We must move to modern forward defence. Thanked 🇩🇪 for crucial role in our region's security.
Helping #Ukraine is vital. Together we've given 🇺🇦 a field hospital and would like to do more with Germany.
Discussed with @c_lindner how we can help #Ukraine and mitigate the economic impact caused by Russia's aggression.
To adjust European security, we must spend more on defence and strengthen our capabilities jointly. Need strong decisions to strengthen NATO’s eastern flank.
Good open discussion with 🇩🇪 @Bundeskanzler.
We need more troops and enablers in our region. Germany’s support in strengthening NATO's eastern flank is essential.
Spoke about more ways to support Ukraine. The Kremlin must be and feel isolated. No return to business as usual.
In Berlin to meet Chancellor Scholz @Bundeskanzler, Defense Minister Lambrecht and Finance Minister @c_lindner.
I will also give the 16th Berlin Speech on Freedom @FNFreiheit.
Cher @EmmanuelMacron, toutes mes félicitations pour votre réélection à la présidence de la République française. Je me réjouis de la continuité de notre étroite coopération et de notre amitié pour construire une Europe plus sûre et plus forte.
During Covid we tried to keep the economy and society as open as possible. Last year’s GDP growth of 8,3% reflects that.

Russian aggression challenges Euro-Atlantic security.
With @krisjaniskarins and @IngridaSimonyte we put our common approach in writing – how to best strengthen the security of our region & what decisions are needed at @NATO Madrid summit.

Important discussion with @krisjaniskarins and @IngridaSimonyte.
🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹 have a key role in supporting #Ukraine.
Our location and history give our words and actions special weight among partners and allies. We know Russian brutality first-hand and we know what’s at stake. 1/3
Looking forward to my discussions with @krisjaniskarins and @IngridaSimonyte in Riga.
Baltic cooperation is essential for rallying more assistance to Ukraine, achieving the best solutions for our region at @NATO Madrid Summit, and stopping dependence on Russian energy.
Met with 🇩🇪 FM @ABaerbock.
War won't end overnight as Russia's aim to destroy Ukraine remains the same.
We must keep helping Ukraine. As Ukrainians have said: the best humanitarian aid is military aid.
Germany has a leading role to play in stopping Putin's war machine.
15 years ago Estonia faced the first cyberattacks targeting an entire nation. Today, the world’s largest #cyberdefence exercise Locked Shields is taking place in Tallinn.
Best of luck to the teams! Thank you @ccdcoe and @JTarien for your excellent work.
RT @Mariana_Betsa: Great meeting of @ua_parliament delegation with Prime Minister of Estonia @kajakallas. We highly appreciate Estonia’s tremendous political, military, humanitarian and financial support. Thank you, dear friends for standing with Ukraine #StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Good to welcome @ua_parliament delegation in Tallinn.
Discussed what more we can do to support 🇺🇦 in light of Russia’s renewed assault on eastern Ukraine and for future build-up efforts.
Important investigations ongoing into Russia’s crimes which show clear signs of genocide.
RT @Ch_Trebesch: Regarding weapons and armaments, the gap between US support and all others is particularly large. Strikingly, tiny Estonia committed more weapons than each of the largest EU economies
Estonia's humanitarian and military assistance to Ukraine so far amounts to 0.8% of our GDP.
But we must all do more. Until Ukraine has not won, we haven't done enough.
Our deeds speak louder than words. #ArmUkraineNow
