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.

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.

The #EU has acted with speed and decisiveness.
We take our pledge to deliver #Ukraine artillery ammunition seriously.

Glad to welcome you in Estonia on your first bilateral visit, @PetteriOrpo.

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.
