Had a good meeting with #Ukraine’s new Ambassador to Estonia @KononenkoMak.
Supporting Ukraine until victory is a priority for my government and Estonia.
I emphasised that at the Vilnius #NATO Summit, we must provide practical steps for Ukraine on the path to NATO membership. https://t.co/f7ys2iguJz

I outlined to @The_Japan_News why aggression as a policy tool can't pay off.
If it did, we'd wake up in a more dangerous world. Aggressors and would-be ones are carefully taking notes of the free world's reaction to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.

The #EU has acted with speed and decisiveness.
We take our pledge to deliver #Ukraine artillery ammunition seriously.
The agreement on the Act in Support of Ammunition Production will accelerate military support for Ukraine and enhance Europe's defence industry production. https://n.respublicae.eu/EUCouncilPress/status/1677085208653250562

Talked about Ukraine’s NATO membership with @FinancialTimes.
In Vilnius we need to provide practical steps for #Ukraine on the path to #NATO membership.
The only security guarantee that works and is much cheaper than anything else is NATO membership.

Happy #4thofJuly to @POTUS and our Amecian friends.
The U.S. is one of our closest friends, Allies and strategic partners.
Together we stand for peace, democracy and the rule of law across the world, and we continue to do so by supporting Ukraine against Russia’s aggression.

Thank you for the good interview @AxelGylden @lexpress. Here is a thread highlighting some of the points I made.
I explained why it’s so important that the NATO European allies invest more in defence and why we must in Vilnius agree on a path for Ukraine towards NATO membership.

Emphasised to @BBCNews @BBCMaryam that for permanent peace in Europe we must end grey zones of security.
Grey zones create instability and wars. That's why we need #Ukraine on a path to #NATO.
NATO membership is the safest, cheapest, and most credible way of deterring #Russia. https://t.co/xtmFNfVL20

This weekend is special in #Estonia - it is the XIII Youth Song and Dance Celebration.
I have danced at every one of these celebrations throughout my youth, and these are memories I will always treasure.
I hope everyone enjoys these truly special moments.

Happy #CanadaDay, @JustinTrudeau and all our friends in Canada.
Estonia and Canada are close allies and like-minded partners. We value Canada’s contribution to the security of our region.
Glad Canada's presence in Estonia is soon growing by opening a new Embassy @CanadaEstonia.

My message on #AI regulation on the second day of #EUCO:
Europe should seize AI and the enormous opportunities here, not only concentrate on the risks.
In Estonia, we already have more than 100 use cases of AI to improve our public services. https://t.co/oGuHrZ0u7Y

A great example of #JustTransition: the construction of the first large rare earth refinery in Europe has started in Estonian border town of Narva.
#EU will reduce its dependence on critical supplies that are vital for green transition.

At #EUCO, we reached an agreement that the new strategic environment requires the defence readiness of #Europe.
To stop Russia’s cycle of aggression, European defence needs a decisive lift.
EU-wide effort is needed to find ways and boost investments in our defence capabilities.

My messages at #EUCO:
The new security reality demands new solutions.
European defence needs a decisive lift. We need deterrence credible enough to stop Russia's aggression and avoid war.
