We also must find ways to boost the European defence industry.
Yet in real terms, the defence spending of European allies decreased by 11.6 % in 2022, compared to 2021.
Defence spending above 2% and increased defence investments must become a common reality for the allies. 5/

Russia’s threat at NATO’s doorstep is real and long-term. We need a Europe that is able to defend itself militarily.
Looking ahead to the Vilnius Summit, we need first and foremost NATO’s new regional defence in place. And we need to have them backed up by necessary forces. 4/

We must end Russia’s cycle of aggression.
For that, we need to dry up Russia’s war machine and support Ukraine until victory. For lasting peace in Europe, we need accountability, we need to end grey zones in European security, and we need Ukraine in the EU and NATO. 3/

The faster Putin understands he will not reach his objectives, the sooner this war ends.
Our strength is our unity.
Breaking this unity is the Kremlin’s strategy to win. We will prove them wrong. We cannot agree with Putin’s „Landraub“. 2/

At the meeting with @Bundeskanzler, @krisjaniskarins and @IngridaSimonyte, I said the year behind us has been an intense one.
Many landmark decisions have been made.
Ukraine has proved to the world it can win this war, with the transatlantic family strongly next to it. 1/

Welcome to Tallinn, @Bundeskanzler.
Thank you for #Germany's commitment to #Estonia and our region, and for being a strong supporter of #Ukraine.
Our goal must be Ukraine's victory – victory that means Russia returning to Russia and an end to the cycle of Russian aggression.

Glad to welcome you in Tallinn, @SenBooker.
The U.S. has shown great leadership in supporting #Ukraine.
Russia’s aim is rewrite the international rules-based order, to one where might makes right. This is why our support to Ukraine is essential in the long haul.

RT @madis_muller: Ühtlasi tähendab see, et reaalpalk kui keskmise ostujõu näitaja kasvas I kv 2,5% ning alates 2022 III kv on Eesti inimeste ostujõud paranenud juba 5% võrra. Keskmine palgakasv on viimasel ajal selgesti kiirem kui hinnatõus.

In 8 years European combined expenditure has moved from 1,5% to 1,68%. Need to do better. #StrongerTogether https://t.co/IBnOeMpngT

I underlined the value of freedom in my interview to @Telegraph @SheridanDani.
I come from the generation that was born without freedom, and now we have it. I don’t take it for granted. I understand freedom is something you have to fight for.

In my interview to @ThereseLHSvD @SvD I emphasised we must discredit aggression as a tool of statecraft and hold Russia and its leaders accountable - otherwise Russia's aggression will sooner or later return and there can be no lasting peace in Europe.

Peace and stability of Europe is secured by #NATO that is able to defend Europe militarily as well as by a geopolitical #EU.
We must end grey zones in Europe. It has become clear that for peace in Europe, we need #Ukraine both in the EU and NATO. 2/

Good meeting with #NATO Ambassadors visiting #Estonia.
My message: life next to a pariah state has a cost. We in NATO need to strengthen our defence and security and adapt accordingly – we must put forward defence in place in our planning, defence spending and capabilities. 1/
