At #NATO and AP4 partners meeting, thanked Australia, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea for being strong supporters of Ukraine.
We have stood united in protecting our values and the international rules-based order which is being challenged not only by Russia but also others. 1/ https://t.co/zeTDLFxVLq

Re We may be oceans apart, but our security is closely connected.
We need to build trusted connectivity and set standards with those whom we can trust.
We must boost our practical cooperation, including in the fields of technology and cybersecurity. 2/

All Allies said in #VilniusSummit today that #Ukraine’s rightful place is in #NATO.
Our decisions put Ukraine on a path towards NATO membership.
We have initiated a process now and NATO Foreign Ministers will regularly assess it. 1/ https://t.co/XoIFbqlopx

Re We also took crucial decisions that will strengthen our collective defence.
We approved new strong NATO regional defence plans.
All Allies also took a commitment to invest more in defence. 2/

Had a good meeting with the Prime Minister of North Macedonia @DKovachevski at #NATOSummit.
We have good cooperation as NATO Allies, and we appreciate your contribution to the security of the Baltic Sea region.
Discussed issues related to OSCE and regional security. https://t.co/LTPfIdyiIc

Stressed at #NATO Public Forum: the threat from Russia is real and long-term.
All Allies must adapt accordingly. That is why Estonia spends 3% of GDP on defence.
We need more defence investments by European Allies and we need to boost European defence industry.

Good meeting with @JustinTrudeau at #NATOSummit.
Thank you #Canada for your increased contribution to European security.
Our economic relations are also deepening – glad that a Canadian company chose to build Europe's first ever rare earth magnet factory in Estonia. https://t.co/X3xDr4PI9w

My message ahead of #NATOSummit:
#Russia is and will remain the most significant and direct threat to #NATO.
To counter the Russian threat, the decisions we make here at #VilniusSummit must strengthen our collective defence. 1/ https://t.co/CIAnXaVYo7

Re We must agree on new regional defence plans that are backed with necessary forces and equipment.
We must all invest more in defence.
2% of GDP now should be a minimum obligation, but more is urgently needed. Estonia will allocate 3% of GDP, plus Host Nation Support costs. 2/

Re #Ukraine’s rightful place is in #NATO.
NATO membership is the safest, cheapest, and most credible way of deterring Russia.
That is why it is so important to set Ukraine on a path towards NATO membership.
We owe it to Ukraine. Ukraine is fighting for all of us. 3/

Re #Russia has tried to blackmail #NATO away from its neighbourhood. The outcome has been the opposite.
We will be sitting around the NATO table with #Finland now an Ally. And following yesterday's positive news, #Sweden will soon be an Ally, too.

I'll start this year's #NATOSummit with a discussion at NATO Public Forum with @krisjaniskarins, @JustinTrudeau and @CMC_NATO.
Our focus is on forward defence: how to adapt #NATO's deterrence and defence for the looming threats.

Just arrived in beautiful Vilnius for the #NATOSummit.
The decisions we will make here during the coming days must further strengthen NATO's deterrence and defence, and open a path for Ukraine to become a NATO member.

Great news before the start of the Vilnius #NATOSummit – an important step forward by Türkiye on Sweden’s NATO membership.
#NATO is getting even stronger.
I hope for a rapid ratification and welcoming #Sweden as NATO’s 32nd Ally soon.

Glad to welcome you on your first visit to Tallinn as the President of Latvia, @edgarsrinkevics.
We focused on the #NATO Summit starting in Vilnius tomorrow, including moving forward with giving Ukraine a practical path to #NATO membership. Also discussed energy security. https://t.co/SNmFkZS37O

Greetings to #NAFOfellas at the first-ever #NAFOSummit in Vilnius.
#NAFO is a living example of how to disarm Russian disinformation with humour, intelligence and enthusiasm. Behind every Fella is a real person who believes in #Ukraine’s victory.
Thank you for your service. https://t.co/VWOkAe3udr

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.
