RT @AlarKaris: #Russia's aggression & crimes against humanity deserve the strongest condemnation from the whole world. We, the Presidents of 🇧🇬🇨🇿🇭🇺🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹🇲🇰🇲🇪🇵🇱🇷🇴🇸🇰 condemn the mass bombings of Ukrainian cities recently carried out by Russia, which constitute war crimes under international law.
Had a good meeting with PM of #Rwanda Dr. Ngirente.
We are both digital nations keen on finding new avenues for cooperation.
We discussed security in Africa and Europe. We agreed Russia’s aggression is a global issue. This undermines the whole UN Charter-based world order.
We launched the Just Transition Plan with @vonderleyen today - this means a new chapter for Ida-Virumaa.
With the help of just transition we'll diversify economy, improve environment and provide up- and reskilling for people.
Thank you @EU_Commission and Ursula for support.
My message with @vonderleyen at the Narva border crossing, with Russia on the other side:
The best way to be with #Ukraine right now is to speed up our support.
Russia's targets are civilians. Ukraine needs air defence systems to protect its people.
I had the honour to open #TDS2022.
A year ago @TallinnSummit we introduced #TrustedConnectivity.
Russian aggression has also demonstrated what happens when you connect to partners who weaponize trust.
But the era of such dependencies has come to a close. 1/4
Shelling across Ukraine including #Kyiv shows #Russia's terrorist tactics.
This makes it even more acute to establish tribunal for crime of aggression. I suggested to @vonderleyen EU could help lead these efforts.
Ukraine needs modern anti-missile systems and air defence fast.
I last welcomed @vonderleyen in Estonia year ago. A lot has changed - Russia is waging a war against a sovereign European country.
Thank you, Ursula, for your leadership in building and upholding EU unity in response to Russia’s aggression and in supporting #Ukraine. 1/5
RT @TallinnSummit: Good morning from Estonia where the #TDS2022, hosted by PM @kajakallas, starts today.
Top of the agenda: Delivering trusted connectivity through trusted partnerships, including to help rebuild a free & democratic Ukraine.
Here's what to expect & how you can join us online. 🧵
In today's world we need to replace dependencies with reliable partnerships. Do business with trusted partners, not those who weaponize trust.
That’s why we need #TrustedConnectivity.
Read our joint op-ed with @vonderleyen ahead of @TallinnSummit:

Russia continues to attack civilians in #Ukraine. This time in Zaporizhzhia. Air and missle defence systems can save many lives, hope they reach Ukraine soon.
RT @DmytroKuleba: Russia continues its missile terror against civilians in Zaporizhzhia. 12 strikes on residential areas overnight, at least 12 killed and many more wounded. We urgently need more modern air and missile defense systems to save innocent lives. I urge partners to…
RT @LausKati: Happy 20th birthday to Estonia’s first ever digital signature! You’ve aged remarkably well and we couldn’t imagine our life without you! 🥳🎂🎉🇪🇪 #DigitalTransformation
Concluded informal #EUCO in Prague with the following:
Must focus on solutions to reduce energy prices for example by finding alternative suppliers and implementing joint gas purchasing and not fragment EU single market.
Look forward to formal EUCO and @EU_Commission proposals
Important discussion on energy at informal #EUCO today.
Need joint workable solutions to lower energy prices, cut demand and ensure security of supply.
Boosting investments into renewables and ending dependence on Russia's hydrocabrons in the only long-term way forward.
Co-chaired a roundtable with @GharibashviliGe at the first-ever European Political Community meeting.
Need open discussions at this critical time. Agreed on fundamentals: need unity to stop Russian aggression, and halt their increasingly destabilising activity across Europe.
Congratulated @Denys_Shmyhal on #Ukraine's success on the battlefield.
It must be translated into ever increasing and stronger support to your soldiers and people by the free world.
Estonia is committed to continue helping you in defending your freedom.
My message upon arrival in Prague:
Agreement on eight package of EU sanctions on the aggressor is positive and shows we're keeping the unity.
Russia wants to crack our unity but they won't succeed. We must continue putting political and economic pressure on #Russia.
RT @EerikNKross: Every family with genocide memories has stories we wish we could forget. Ours has to do with gold teeth. Looking at this makes me realize: we have to keep telling these stories. Because otherwise they happen again.
RT @KianSharifi: A girls' school in Iran brought a member of the IRGC-run Basij paramilitary to speak to students. The girls welcomed the speaker by taking off their headscarves & chanting "get lost, Basiji".
Teenage girls have been at the forefront of protests for days.
My message in interview to @AP:
When Russia escalates and threatens us, we can't send a signal that says “when you threaten, they'll give in”.
If we fail to respond with strength and if we show fear, then we encourage Russia to blackmail us even more.
