R to @kajakallas: Disinformation reaches wide audiences via social media; it sits within our pockets, phones and apps.

While fear is one tool that the Kremlin uses to prevent democratic leaders and societies from supporting Ukraine, then disinformation and influence operations are another. 6/

R to @kajakallas: We can't forget that frontline of Putin’s shadow war runs through the hearts of our own democracies.

The aim of influence operations is to create distrust and change our policies, influence democratic decision-making – including the decisions we make at the ballot-boxes. 5/

R to @kajakallas: Pope John Paul II has said: “If you want peace, work for justice”.

There was no justice for victims of Soviet terror after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Russian crimes in Ukraine make it clear why accountability matters – unless unpunished, it continues over and over. 4/

R to @kajakallas: We should be learning from history that what happens elsewhere will quickly happen here – unless aggression is stopped, deterred, and contained.

That is why the best way to secure ourselves is to make sure we help Ukraine to win its fight for freedom. 3/

[2024-03-19 17:11 UTC]

R to @kajakallas: History has proven: if we let tyranny march through Europe, it's the road to unfreedom.

The motto of our times should be: if Russia stops fighting, there will be peace. If Ukraine stops fighting, there will be no more Ukraine. 2/

Honoured to receive the Walther Rathenau Prize in Berlin today.
This recognition isn't just for me, but for Estonia too.
I dedicate this prize to our Ukrainian friends.
Your courage in the fight for freedom, risking your lives, deserves the highest tribute. 1/

My message at
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23Europe2024
conference: decades of underinvestment in defence must end now.
A strong European defence industry not only ensures security and prosperity, but creates it.
Investing in defence means more jobs, economic benefits, and contributes to overall growth.

Thanked
https://nitter.privacydev.net/Bundeskanzler
for Germany's support to Ukraine and commitment to Baltic defence.
Estonia allocates 0.25% of GDP to Ukraine's military aid each year. Introduced our idea. It's a winning strategy if all join.
Also discussed the need to invest more in Europe's defence.

R to @kajakallas: For the Kremlin, democratic governance in Europe is a threat that it tries to destroy.

It sees liberal democracy as its biggest enemy.

This is why it invaded Ukraine and this is what Ukraine is fighting for today - for all of us. 5/

[2024-03-19 12:47 UTC]

R to @kajakallas: We live under a flood of disinformation and propaganda, especially from malign foreign actors.

Putin's shadow war targets our democracies. Russia uses different means, including social media, to manipulate public opinion and erode trust in democratic institutions. 4/

[2024-03-19 12:47 UTC]

R to @kajakallas: We can also see a certain impatience to get the economy growing – leading to a search for solutions at odds with Hayek’s views.

But quick fixes may undermine long-term stability and the Single Market. 3/

[2024-03-19 12:47 UTC]

R to @kajakallas: The last years have been a time of polycrisis – the pandemic, higher energy prices, Russia’s war against Ukraine and now an economic downturn.

This means we are in search for a new normal in economic policy. We must navigate beyond crisis mode to rebuild our economies. 2/

Honoured to address a conference dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Friedrich von Hayek's monumental work "The Road to Serfdom".
Hayek wrote and published his work during a time of war - in 1944. His ideas are still very relevant today. 1/

Spoke with Germany’s Federal President
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23Steinmeier
about our support to Ukraine and the need to boost Europe’s defence.
We must also be vigilant against threats to our democratic world.

In my interview to
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23FoxNews
https://nitter.privacydev.net/SpecialReport
, I stressed that our goal must be nothing less than Ukraine’s victory, otherwise global security is at stake.
No war hasbeen won if you don’t set victory as the goal. Europe’s doing its share to support Ukraine.

Wrote a joint letter with 14
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23EUCO
leaders.
There is an increased need for more investments in the security and defence sector in Europe.
One avenue to achieve this is to enhance

’s financing for security and defence in line with EU’s priorities.
