It was a pleasure to welcome my good friend Carl Bildt in #Tallinn 🇪🇪 today to discuss the security situation in #Europe including Russia’s continued aggression in #Ukraine & using Russia’s #FrozenAssets for 🇺🇦.

We also talked about my recent visit to #Georgia 🇬🇪.

The economies & security on both sides of the Atlantic are deeply interconnected. Europe is doing its share by ramping up support for #Ukraine 🇺🇦 & increasing its defence spending.

This also benefits the United States. 🇺🇸

Soon to be 🔴 LIVE. FM ⁦Margus Tsahkna⁩ at #LennartMeriConference to discuss the future of the Trans-Atlantic relations together with ⁦⁦Benjamin Haddad⁩, Ana Isabel Xavier, ⁦Andrea Kendall-Taylor⁩ & ⁦Rym Momtaz ريم ممتاز⁩. youtube.com/live/FIQRloD6D…

My message was clear. #Ukraine ’s 🇺🇦victory has to be our only goal & Western world must not hesitate to act in order to achieve it. For example, there is no excuse not to use #frozenassets .

I met Yuli Edelstein 🇮🇱 יולי אדלשטיין 🇮🇱 in #Tallinn today to discuss the Middle East crisis & critical humanitarian situation in Gaza.
#Estonia 🇪🇪has consistently supported the two-state solution to achieve long term peace.
I also gave an overview of my recent visit to #Georgia 🇬🇪.

This year, #Estonia 🇪🇪 made a huge leap towards a more inclusive society by legalising gender neutral marriage.

Still, much needs to be done. On this #IDAHOT we raise the rainbow flag 🏳️‍🌈 & confirm our commitment to ensuring everyone can live free from fear & violence.

Estonia has always supported #Georgia ’s aspirations to EU 🇪🇺 & #NATO membership.

In an interview with DW News I stressed that with “foreign influence” bill, 🇬🇪 makes a huge step away from reaching this goal.

Great talk today with the FM of #Andorra Imma Tor Faus about ways to enhance bilateral relations. Really glad that 🇦🇩 has recently appointed a new non-resident ambassador to #Estonia .

Also discussed possible future cooperation in rebuilding #Ukraine .

#StandWithUkraine

In the face of Russia's war of aggression, Council of Europe is more relevant than ever. Glad to discuss the future of the organisation with Sec Gen Marija Pejčinović Burić.

Also signed an agreement of voluntary contributions to the work of Istanbul Convention & the #humanrights for LGBTI persons.

In yesterday’s speech to #Georgian people I promised that they are not alone, they are seen & their rightful place is in the EU.

We keep supporting Georgia!

Sakartvelo! 🇬🇪

Hard to argue with the whole nation.

#Georgia 🇬🇪 is part of Europe🇪🇺!

The attack on Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico is shocking. Violence in politics is unacceptable.

I wish the Prime Minister of Slovakia speedy recovery.

Great news!

Our parliament approved with an overwhelming majority a law which will allow using Russia’s #FrozenAssets for #Ukraine 🇺🇦!

I hope the president will announce it as law as soon as possible.

We are one step closer to setting a precedent in #Europe with our initative.

Let me be clear - we did not agree on any of this.

My message is the opposite: Georgia is not moving to the right direction.

In the meeting with the Chair of the #Georgian Parliament Shalva Papuashvili 🇬🇪 I stressed that the Foreign Agents law is causing violence & taking them further away from their EU path.

🇬🇪rightful place is in the EU & 🇬🇪people are waiting for the promises made to them to be fulfilled

And we have landed in #Georgia 🇬🇪

When times are challenging you can count on your friends.

I welcome that the #EU broadened sanctions against Iran who supports Russia’s war in #Ukraine & destabilizes the situation in the Middle East.
Our message is clear. Potential profits from supporting Russia or other terrorist regimes will not outweigh the sanctions imposed by us.

Today marks 3⃣1⃣ years since #Estonia joined the Council of Europe to work for #HumanRights , #Democracy & #RuleOfLaw .

We're glad that after three decades of membership, 🇪🇪 has a candidate for the Sec Gen of Council of Europe. Indrek Saar is ready to take the work of the #CoE forward.

Join us live for the hybrid conference of security and defence in the Baltic sea region! m.youtube.com/watch?v=kV_q49…
