Discussed with @NicolasSchmitEU energy, green transition, and support to Ukrainian refugees.
Look forward to our #JustTransition Plan launch. The plan focuses on transition to climate neutrality in Ida-Virumaa region and ensuring a diverse economy, including up- and reskilling.
My government has presented to Parliament the 2023 draft budget.
Security and the Estonian people are key focus of the budget.
We must govern in a way to have the resources needed to ensure national security, support our people and help Ukraine.

For the brave women and men in #Iran. A bitter reminder there are still too many women and girls worldwide suffering from persecution.

Honoured to be awarded Transatlantic Leadership Award by @CEPA. #MeetTheMoment
Transatlantic alliance for us in Estonia is the real-world expression of freedom.
We're defending the very same idea of freedom, including territorial integrity and sovereignty, in #Ukraine now. 1/5

What Russia's doing in occupied Ukrainian territories isn't some "fake democracy." It's a genocidal tool aiming to erase Ukrainian people and identity.
Stalin used same tactics in Estonia - decades of repression followed. We mustn't let it repeat now in #Ukraine.
RT @KristoNurmis: 🧵 on the "referenda" in Russian-occupied Ukraine.
Understandably, many people call these illegal, rigged, & a "travesty of democracy." But…
Visited snap exercise #OKAS2022 🦔 today and thanked the participants for their service.
The Estonian Defence Forces @Kaitsevagi and the Defence League are regularly practising the combat readiness of our reserve units. Defence capability means preparedness and confidence.

My greetings to #NAFOfellas - you’re doing a great job fighting bad takes and Russian propaganda, and raising funds for Ukraine’s defence. I salute you, #Fellas.
Thank you for gifting me my own Fella, @Phoenixfire709. #NAFO expansion is non-negotiable.
RT @exileoftza: One @kajakallas #Fella joining #NAFO 😘
Face of Russian occupation in #Ukraine revealed by UN mandated independent investigation.
Deportations, executions, sexual violence where victims ranged from 4 to 82 years.
Let it sink in. From 4-year-olds. To 82-year-olds.
Impunity is not an option.

We can all do our share to increase support to #Ukraine.
@estembassyuk took the initiative and they are raising money to send vital aid, including an armoured ambulance, to Ukraine.
You can also help. Details below👇

Greeted the new Finnish Ambassador @Vesa_Vasara today.
We talked about security, including Finland’s way into #NATO and energy security.
Ambassador Vasara speaks fluent Estonian - another sign of a special bond between our countries. Heameel Teid Eestis tervitada!
RT @jimsciutto: Estonia - situated right on Russia’s border and the frequent target of Russian attacks - again shows its supreme resolve: “We should not give one inch. We should actually put more pressure on Russia to stop this war,” PM @kajakallas told me.
On Estonian Resistance Day, we commemorate those who resisted occupying regimes and fought for freedom.
Today Ukrainians show huge bravery as #Russia uses the same playbook we know from Soviet occupation - atrocities, terror, mass deportations.
Emphasised in my welcoming remarks at @ICDS_Tallinn ABCD conference that we must counter Russian aggression and expansionism decisively.
If not, no country can feel safe. All autocratic leaders must witness our unwavering resolve in defence of democracy and freedom. 1/3
While we are focused on the conventional war that is going on in Ukraine, we must not forget that there is also cyber war going on. Therefore in Estonia 🇪🇪 we invest also in cyber security.
