There is war in #Ukraine because Russia started it, not because Ukraine is defending itself. Russia's goals haven't changed, it wants to continue its war of aggression.

This means we all need to do more. Give many more weapons to Ukraine, faster. We're in it for the long haul.

Discussed with @VSinkevicius collaboration in the #EU to lead the way towards clean environment and fast deployment of renewables.

We also need to work closely on societal changes regarding the green transition and leaving no one behind. #EUGreenDeal

Spoke to @BBCWorld about Estonia's decision to send its largest military assistance package to #Ukraine to date.

We must all do more. As long as the war is going on, we haven't done enough.

We must be prepared for the long haul and not be afraid of Russian threats.

In my virtual speech at #DiVärlden conference in Sweden, I noted that the war in Ukraine is far from over.

For Ukraine to win and for goodness to triumph over evil, we must also carry costs and take risks. Beating evil demands long-term effort from each and every one of us.

Glad to welcome to Estonia new Ambassadors from #Norway and #Greece.

Met with @President_Arm today. Discussed bilateral cooperation, relations with #EU, regional and global developments.

We can further build on our cooperation in e-governance, innovation and education. We agreed to do more on emerging technologies, including on space technology.

This is terrorism.
RT @yarotrof: Dnipro today. The screams of Ukrainian civilians buried under the rubble of their high-rise on Orthodox New Year. Russia and its traditional values.

Good to welcome #Croatia's PM @andrejplenkovic in Estonia.

We are close friends and allies. Discussed how to deepen our relations further.

Our views are aligned: we must ramp up support to help ensure #Ukraine's victory and stand against Russia's malign influence elsewhere.

Good to meet with @markhleonard in Tallinn.

I often cite his work "The Age of Unpeace" as it seems we're living this book right now. Glad it's released in Estonian today, at the initiative of @EstonianGovt Office and with support from @EuroopaKomisjon.

@taavikotka @elronmyrsk Kui mehed valitsesid, oli nii palju parem, eks :)? Vaatame statistikale otsa. Ma olen olnud pm napilt alla 2 aasta, ometi on palgalõhe sel ajal vähenenud. Majandusminister on alles viimased 5 kuud naine. 2 minu poolt juhitavas valitsuses on naisi-mehi võrdselt. Ikka naised süüdi?

Glad to welcome @RishiSunak at Tapa military base in #Estonia. We thanked the #eFP troops for strengthening our joint security. There's a strong spirit of Alliance in the air as a momentous year for #NATO draws to a close.

Had a good meeting with @RishiSunak on our way from Riga to Tallinn.

Thank you for your commitment to our defence. Together we've made good progress in putting Madrid Summit decisions into practice.

Today we also agreed to take our close #digital partnership to a new level.

At the #JEF meeting - many lessons learned from the past year.

Conventional defence must remain our highest priority and we must increase our defence spending.

JEF nations can lead the way. 1/

Important decisions at #EUCO.

Agreed on the next round of sanctions to Russia, and EUR 18 bn financial aid to Ukraine to help them win this war.

We’ll take work forward to use Russia’s frozen assets for reconstruction and holding Russia accountable for crime of aggression. 1/

At #EUCO, need to take work forward on securing accountability for the crime of aggression and to use Russia’s frozen assets.

As to energy, need to cooperate for next winter, find solutions to alleviate high prices, ensure security of supply and facilitate uptake of renewables.

First leaders-level #EUASEANSummit is an excellent opportunity to deepen EU-ASEAN cooperation.

I emphasised we are all more linked than ever – in addition to climate crisis, difficulties resulting from COVID, we also face Russia’s war in Ukraine and its global consequences. 1/
