Started my day in Vilnius with a discussion with @IngridaSimonyte.
Always a pleasure to be here and exchange ideas with a good friend.
🧵 My speech at @Policy_Exchange in London following the honour of receiving the Grotius Prize:
The free world has made many right decisions in support of Ukraine. But we need to speed it up.
If aggression pays off somewhere, it invites it elsewhere. 1/7
With @trussliz we agreed that giving Ukraine tools to win the war and isolating Russia is of primary importance.
Ukraine needs our help. We have limited time to change the course of the war. Military aid is crucial.
Getting tired is not an option.
Thank you PM @BorisJohnson for a great welcome.
We share the same vision on bolstering NATO’s Eastern flank. Estonia and the UK will work together in NATO to strengthen the forces & command structures committed to the defence of Estonia.

Met with @BWallaceMP.
The UK is a true leader in supporting Ukraine and giving arms.
We must now make a significant leap in NATO's defence, including in the Baltic region. The UK as our #eFP framework nation is a key partner as we strive for credible decisions from Madrid.
Grattis på #Nationaldagen, Sverige!
My warm wishes to @SwedishPM and our dear 🇸🇪 neighbours across the sea.
Estonia and #Sweden have always had a special bond. We will strengthen it further as we work together for an even more secure and sustainable Baltic Sea region.
Simply beautiful. Happy 138th birthday, Estonian national flag, or the blue-black-and-white as we call it.
Warm greetings to Mario Draghi @Palazzo_Chigi and the people of #Italy on Festa della Repubblica.
This day of celebration of freedom - as we #StandWithUkraine - reminds us of the importance of protecting our European values and never letting aggression and evil pay off.
Best wishes on the #PlatinumJubilee and the birthday of Queen Elizabeth II to everyone in the UK.
Estonia and the UK are the best of friends and the closest of allies. It is now more important than ever to stand united and defend the values and security of our countries.
Today is Children's Day in Estonia, Ukraine and many other countries.
All children have the right to safety and happiness, friends and games, education and dreams. And the right to homes that are peaceful shelters, not places to run from because of bombing.
Good meeting with @vonderleyen.
The green transition must be the people's green transition. Also crucial for lower energy prices & independence from Russian hydrocarbons.
EU must press ahead with support to Ukraine, including clear EU perspective & sanctions against Russia.
Thank you for hosting us!
RT @USEmbTallinn: Proud to host 🇪🇪 Prime Minister @kajakallas on the 🇺🇸 #USSKearsarge during its port visit to Tallinn. As this year’s #DefenderEurope and #Siil2022 exercises demonstrated, we are #StrongerTogether.
Warm greetings to @GharibashviliGe and the people of #Georgia as you celebrate Independence Day.
Estonia and Georgia are long-standing friends.
We're dedicated to helping build a strong, democratic and prosperous Georgia & voicing our support to Georgia's territorial integrity.
Reaffirmed to @SwedishPM: Estonia supports Sweden's fast accession to NATO in every way.
Ukraine is one of us and needs hope - so we must discuss conditions for 🇺🇦 becoming EU candidate country soon.
Also spoke about deeper Baltic Sea region integration and climate cooperation.
Discussed security issues today @FolkochForsvar in Stockholm.
I warned about premature calls for a ceasefire and peace. We cannot give anything to the aggressor that it didn’t have before – or the aggression will sooner or later return. 1/4
I will be discussing security in the Baltic Sea region this morning @FolkochForsvar.
🔘Tune in at 10.30 (Stockholm time) https://folkochforsvar.se/event/security-in-the-baltic-sea-region-with-estonias-prime-minister/
RT @FolkochForsvar: To discuss the security situation in the Baltic Sea Region, Society & Defence invites to a seminar with the Estonian Prime Minister @kajakallas. Commentators are @HallgrenJakob @UISweden and @gvonsyd…
Visited #Ågrenska, Sweden's national centre for rare diseases.
Deeply moved by all their work to support children and adults with disabilities and their families.
Thanks to the close cooperation between 🇪🇪🇸🇪, we have an Ågrenska Foundation sister site in Estonia since 2003.
Thanked Gothenburg's Acting Governor Schultze for a great welcome.
🇪🇪🇸🇪 ties go way back and there's great scope for more cooperation.
#Gothenburg excels in areas like #mobility and smart cities. And our businesses can offer innovation and solutions to level it up even more.
