Honoured to receive the Walther Rathenau Prize in Berlin today.
This recognition isn't just for me, but for Estonia too.
I dedicate this prize to our Ukrainian friends.
Your courage in the fight for freedom, risking your lives, deserves the highest tribute. 1/

My message at
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23Europe2024
conference: decades of underinvestment in defence must end now.
A strong European defence industry not only ensures security and prosperity, but creates it.
Investing in defence means more jobs, economic benefits, and contributes to overall growth.

Thanked
https://nitter.privacydev.net/Bundeskanzler
for Germany's support to Ukraine and commitment to Baltic defence.
Estonia allocates 0.25% of GDP to Ukraine's military aid each year. Introduced our idea. It's a winning strategy if all join.
Also discussed the need to invest more in Europe's defence.

Honoured to address a conference dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Friedrich von Hayek's monumental work "The Road to Serfdom".
Hayek wrote and published his work during a time of war - in 1944. His ideas are still very relevant today. 1/

Spoke with Germany’s Federal President

In my interview to
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23FoxNews
https://nitter.privacydev.net/SpecialReport
, I stressed that our goal must be nothing less than Ukraine’s victory, otherwise global security is at stake.
No war hasbeen won if you don’t set victory as the goal. Europe’s doing its share to support Ukraine.

In my interview to NPR
https://nitter.privacydev.net/nprscottsimon
, I outlined that if Russia won in Ukraine, it would affect overall global security – if aggression pays off somewhere, it serves as an invitation to use it elsewhere.

Explained to
https://nitter.privacydev.net/BBC
how Putin is using the trap of fear against our societies.
By doing this, he is trying to make us refrain from the decisions we would otherwise make.
To avoid falling into his traps, we must remember what Putin himself is afraid of:

RT by @kajakallas: Estonian PM @kajakallas was one of the most compelling interviews I did for the book. Regarding Putin and the many in the West now urging a deal with him, she quoted Churchill on Hitler: “An appeaser is one who feeds the crocodile hoping it will eat him last.”

The new
https://nitter.privacydev.net/netflix
series about the Cold War is out. I explain based on Estonia's and my family's history why we can't let Russian aggression pay off in Ukraine. If we fail, we'll wake up in a more dangerous world. Weakness provokes aggressors, not strength.

Met with

We discussed the activities of the European Court of Auditors and how to enhance cooperation with EU institutions and member states.
Our focus should be on effectiveness and cutting the administrative burden.

for a good exchange on international security.
Estonia highly values

As like-minded partners and allies, we are actively looking for ways to further support Ukraine and raise the cost of war for Russia.

RT by @kajakallas: In case you still think that depriving Ukraine of weapons will lead to "peace" please read this: Russia still plans to conquer all of Ukraine. Russian occupation still means mass arrests, murder and kidnapped children. https://www.thedailybeast.com/dmitry-medvedev-unveils-map-with-new-russian-borders-in-anti-ukraine-screed
