Dear @jonasgahrstore and all our friends in #Norway, happy Constitution Day. #17mai

Estonia and Norway are close partners and allies that have always had a special bond. I'm confident this bond will strengthen even further.

Glad to welcome Ukraine, Iceland, Japan and Ireland as the newest NATO @ccdcoe members on the cyber centre's 15th anniversary.

Their know-how – including #Ukraine's expertise in countering Russian cyberattacks – will add a great deal to #NATO’s knowledge hub on cyber defence.

I wish the best of success to Slovakia's newly appointed government of experts, led by @LudoOdorPM.

Thank you, @eduardheger, for your leadership and all your work in bringing Estonia and Slovakia even closer as partners in the EU and allies in NATO.

Met Czech President @prezidentpavel on the margins of the Copenhagen Democracy Summit today.

Discussed the importance of keeping up military aid to Ukraine beyond spring.

Also talked about the upcoming NATO Vilnius summit and how it's key we put forward defence into practice.

Thank you, Technical University of Denmark @DTUtweet, for welcoming me.

Innovation and entrepreneurship help small countries get ahead of the curve.

That's why Estonia is keen on finding new ways to create synergies between our scientists, companies, and financial sectors.

#Estonia has very good defence cooperation with #Denmark.

We are also grateful for Denmark’s military contribution in the Baltic region – it strengthens the security of the Baltic Sea region and the Alliance as a whole. 4/

Offshore wind cooperation key to achieve climate neutrality. It’s important to continue positive momentum of last year’s Marienborg Declaration.

My new government’s aim is 100% renewable electricity by 2030, and Estonia wants to learn from Danish experience. 3/

Estonian-Danish relations are very good. But we could think of new ideas to boost future cooperation.

We could focus even more on high tech in our economic relations. Today’s business seminar and visit to Technical University’s Skylab are very useful. 2/

Warm meeting with my friend PM Mette Frederiksen @Statsmin.

Our motto must continue to be: freedom must be armed better than tyranny.

#Denmark’s support to #Ukraine has been impressive. #Estonia is also among top contributors per capita. 1/

That's why the international approach to Russia must remain firm and long-term.

Our focus must be to ensure that aggression ends in defeat and we're prepared to stop its expansion.

For this, we need to believe in Ukraine – a precondition to give the help needed for victory. 10/

Russia is a pariah state that needs to be isolated. You can't interpret it via a democratic lens.

There's no room for appeasement or flirtation with business as usual.

Half-baked solutions are dangerous. Our joint pressure against Russia must increase, not decrease. 9/

We in Estonia, at the frontline of democracy, have long been aware of Russia’s hybrid tactics.

They try to influence political and social choices. They aim to undermine trust both within and between societies. One of Russia’s goals is to undermine unity between Allies. 8/

The Kremlin sees liberal democracy as its biggest enemy.

The focus is currently on conventional war. Rightly so – the aggressor must be defeated on the battlefield.

But Russia is also waging a war against our democracies – energy war, information war, cyberwar. 7/

We also need to end grey zones in Europe. Grey zones fuel conflicts and invite dictators to invade.

It has become clear that for peace in Europe, we need Ukraine in NATO and the EU. 6/

Until that’s not the case, we must prepare for the worst. Life next to a pariah state has a cost.

We need to adapt and strengthen our own defence and security.

Stability in Europe is secured by a geopolitical EU and by NATO that’s able to defend Europe militarily. 5/
