RT @vseviov: Help is on the way. Quite literally. Our team departed Tallinn early this morning.

Very glad to welcome @SwedishPM Ulf Kristersson in Tallinn.

Good exchange before upcoming #EUCO.

Nordic-Baltic cooperation can make a difference. Discussed how our region can continue to lead in supporting #Ukraine and bolstering our own joint defence.

Estonia holds a high 3rd place in The Human Freedom Index, being the freest country in both the #EU and #NATO.

But violence loves freedom, it always wants to conquer it.

It is existentially important for us that democracy and a world order based on rules stay strong. 4/

Security is comprehensive. We must be ready and well prepared in all areas: the cohesion of society, economic security, internal security, military defence & international action.

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. 3/

NATO has defined #Russia as the most significant and direct threat to Allies' security. Our goal with Allies is to make any aggression impossible.

Estonia's defence spending will grow to at least 3% of our GDP, being already 2,85% in 2023. 2/

Today I handed over to @Riigikogu the updated National Security Concept of Estonia. There’s always been a cross-party consensus about strengthening security in Estonia.

It brought us to @NATO and we continue to get stronger. Read more here: https://www.valitsus.ee/en/news/speech-prime-minister-kaja-kallas-presentation-national-security-concept-riigikogu-6-february 1/

#Estonia is ready to help following this morning's tragic earthquake in #Türkiye and neighbouring countries.

Our urban search and rescue and medical teams are ready to fly in.

Heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and all those affected.

Russia’s war against #Ukraine is war against democracy and freedom. Everywhere in Estonia, people are doing all they can to support Ukraine.

I visited #Naiskodukaitse who come together on weekends to make trench candles for Ukrainian soldiers.

Everyone can help Ukraine win.

Met @ElisaFerreiraEC to discuss and review our progress with Regional and #CohesionPolicy, and #JustTransition.

We discussed how strategic investments could be more flexible. We need to be able to adapt, react, reprogramme and deliver more promptly.

Agreed that 🇷🇺🇧🇾athletes should have no place @Olympics.

Every third Russian athlete in Beijing also belonged to Russian army – the very same army that is killing Ukrainian athletes today.

How can it be fair play for Ukrainian athletes to stand side by side with Russians? 3/

We are committed to securing even better connections between each other and advancing cooperation in energy security.

I look forward to continuing our discussions in May. 2/

Had good discussion today with @krisjaniskarins and @IngridaSimonyte.

Russia’s crime of aggression must be punished. There can be neither impunity nor immunity for this ultimate international crime.

Russia’s crime of aggression needs to be tried before international court. 1/

Glad to host @krisjaniskarins and @IngridaSimonyte in Tallinn. #Estonia leads Baltic cooperation this year.

We will discuss supporting Ukraine to victory, defence cooperation and the road to @NATO Summit in Vilnius, energy and moving forward on infrastructure projects.

RT @edwardlucas: It’s the anniversary of the Tartu Peace Treaty today. Soviet Russia promised to respect Estonian sovereignty and borders, for ever. Jaan Soots and Victor Mutt from the Estonian delegation both died in Soviet captivity two decades later.

Thank you for your principled stance @parsonsandrew @Paralympics.

#Russia uses #Olympics to draw attention away from its genocidal war against Ukraine.

Russian and Belarusian athletes shouldn't compete while Ukrainian athletes die defending their families and homes from Russia.

Excited that #Estonia will host @opengovpart Summit in September.

We have set our focus on open government in the digital age, potential of technology to make governance and policymaking more transparent, and the safeguarding of democracy. #OGPEstonia

Today we celebrate the 103rd anniversary of the #TartuPeaceTreaty.

It is a cornerstone of Estonian independence. We fought hard for our freedom and victory. Today we understand the price of freedom more than ever.
