#EuropeDay2022 in Tallinn concluded on a powerful note of hope and solidarity.
Concert at @MFAEstonia dedicated to the values EU stands for and Ukraine is currently fighting for. 🇪🇺🇺🇦
Here with MFA Secretary General @vseviov.
#SlavaUkraini
#StandWithUkraine
RT @vseviov: In front of @MFAestonia - celebrating freedom. Thinking about Ukraine. #Katusekontsert. #Euroopapäev
In the 18 years that Estonia has been a member of the European Union, a whole new generation of bright Europeans have grown up in Estonia.
Their enthusiasm and wish for an even better Europe is the building block of our future.
Glad to meet Head of @EU_Commission representation in Estonia @vivloonela on this fitting date as we celebrate #EuropeDay2022.
This year we are again reminded how important EU unity is for peace & prosperity in Europe.
Blue & yellow come together in different combinations 🇪🇺🇺🇦
On 9 May, #EuropeDay, we celebrate peace in Europe. But this year, due to Russia’s brutal war against a peaceful and sovereign nation, we cannot.
We must continue to send all our support to Ukraine – a European country fighting for our values.
There is still a long road ahead with oil-shale part of our energy mix but glad to be firmly on the path to transitioning to renewable energy along with other Nordic countries.

Glad to officially welcome Canada, Republic of Korea and Luxembourg in the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence.
Close cooperation between likeminded countries across the world is key for bolstering cyber resilience and standing up against malicious cyber actors.

RT @eliimets: Today I’m in #Ukraine with 🇱🇻 @edgarsrinkevics & 🇱🇹 @glandsbergis to show our unwavering support to the people of 🇺🇦 & discuss more ways we can help 🇺🇦 who is fighting for its freedom & sovereignty, but also for the democratic values. #StandWithUkraine @ZelenskyyUa @DmytroKuleba
Kiitos!
RT @LaukkanenJanne: Viron pääministeri @kajakallas hurmasi yleisönsä #Asianajajapäivä.
Suorasanainen ja luonteva esiintyjä, jonka viesti oli selvä: Vain liittoutuminen tekee pienistä valtioista vahvoja.
RT @Asianajajat: Viron pääministeri @kajakallas piti voimakkaan puheen, jossa otti kantaa myös sotaan Ukrainassa. "If we allow this, more suffering will follow."
Dear @krisjaniskarins, a very happy Day of the Restoration of Latvian Independence to you and the people of Latvia.
We are celebrating with our Latvian friends in thought and spirit.
Crucial steps by the @EU_Commission to create a true European Health Union.
The European digital health space needs to build on the success story of the electronic COVID-certificate: interoperable health data across borders, secure access, and more new digital health solutions.
RT @MargSchinas: The European Health Data Space is a central building block of a strong European Health Union.
Making health data work for citizens and sc…
Thank you for coming!
RT @JeremyCliffe: Back in beautiful Tallinn to interview Prime Minister @kajakallas (read it in next week’s @NewStatesman) and very impressed by this display outside the Russian embassy:
Today is #WorldPressFreedomDay
Free media is a cornerstone of a free society.
In Estonia, we value our freedom.
We rank 4th globally for press freedom. The whole top 5 of @RSF_inter Index is very Nordic.
But in far too many places, being a reporter is extremely dangerous.
I made a statement in @Riigikogu and handed over supplementary budget of 802.9 million euros - almost 2.2% of our GDP.
It covers costs related to strengthening our security, helping Ukrainian war refugees in 🇪🇪 and strengthening our energy security.

Knowing the price of freedom, it is only logical that 🇪🇪ranks high on the list.

#OTD in 2004, Estonia and 9 more countries joined the EU. A landmark moment.
As the great Lennart Meri said, Europe is not geography, it’s a unity of and an allegiance to principles. Principles shape geography, not vice versa.
This is more true than ever today. Slava Ukraini.
A pleasure to meet President 🇨🇾 @AnastasiadesCY in Tallinn today.
We signed the updated MoU on digital cooperation. Estonia is committed to supporting Cyprus’ digital ambitions.
We also focused on Russia’s brutal war in Ukraine, sanctions and ways to support Ukraine.
15 years ago #OTD, Estonia was targeted by the first known cyberattacks against a whole nation.
It was a wake-up call for many on how malicious actors can misuse cyberspace.
Today, Estonia is a #cybersecurity heavyweight. 3rd globally and 1st in Europe.

Estonian mothers start to read to their children when they are still babies. The results show later.

I understand the difficult choices democratic leaders face today.
But our neighbour’s problem today will be our problem tomorrow.
It’s time for everyone to use their moral compass. 8/8
