RT @AlarKaris: Ukrainian people have shown incredible courage in resisting the savage Russian army. Ukraine wants to be free & has every right to be free. Ukraine is part of the European family. With Presidents of 🇵🇱 🇱🇹 🇱🇻 we expressed our full support to @ZelenskyyUa. Stay strong, #Ukraine 🇺🇦!
RT @MoD_Estonia: The flag of #Ukraine was raised today next to those of @NATO member states to welcome 🇺🇦 on the road to @ccdcoe membership. 🇺🇦 will be a valuable contributor when it wins the war and starts to rebuild. For that we support and #StandWithUkraine️ in every possible way.
Thank you 🇺🇦 @ZelenskyyUa for your address to @Riigikogu and the people of Estonia.
We understand what is at stake. Our actions must match this:
We need tough energy sanctions against Russia now. We cannot keep funding Russia's aggression. Need EU leaders' discussion ASAP. 1/2
Years ago Estonian cartoon about inventor girl (dog) Lotte was introduced and quickly became Estonian children’s favourite. I guess we are starting to see the results now.

RT @MichealMartinTD: Delighted to meet PM @kajakallas in Estonia today.
Discussed impact of the war in Ukraine; on security, defence, energy and the humanitarian crisis.
Agreed that Putin and his regime must know it will not, and cannot, succeed.
Welcomed 🇮🇪 Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD in Tallinn. Like Estonia, Ireland is doing a lot to support Ukraine.
But agreed we still must do more:
🔹Sanctions on all Russian energy
🔹Support investigating 🇷🇺war crimes
🔹Joint efforts to help 🇺🇦refugees
The @UN General Assembly suspends #Russia from the Human Rights Council.
The world's message to the Kremlin: atrocities bring consequences & aggressors have no place on the global stage.
We'll keep isolating 🇷🇺 in every possible way as its brutal war against Ukraine continues.

Opened 🇪🇪🇳🇴 energy seminar. We must reduce & act to cut dependence on Russian energy.
It also gives an extra push to phase out fossil fuels & reach climate neutrality. Glad our companies are building new ties & learning from each other to achieve it.

My discussion w/ Norway’s PM @jonasgahrstore focused on how to maximise our help to #Ukraine & stop Putin’s killing machine.
We decided to establish 🇪🇪🇳🇴 working group to take our energy cooperation to next level.
Invited PM Støre to visit Estonia.
Had a good discussion with the researchers of @IFS_Oslo. I emphasised that peace at any cost is just a pause. Our main focus today must be on how to stop Russia’s aggression & help Ukraine free itself from occupying forces & restore its territorial integrity.
During meeting with 🇳🇴 Parliament's Foreign & Defence Committee, I stressed we must ensure to stop Putin & there will be no next. If we fail, the question would be if @NATO's next. NATO’s deterrence has worked and to keep it so – must go the extra mile, adapt our defence posture.
Met with the President of Norwegian 🇳🇴 Parliament @MasudGh today. Discussed what more can we do to help Ukraine & Ukrainian war refugees. Norway has had experiences in accommodating refugees that we in Estonia could learn from as we have received a vast number of 🇺🇦refugees.
