It may seem like we were just having fun…

But we also had day-long intense coordination on various issues.

Whenever something of importance is happening, 🇪🇪 and 🇫🇮 get together and ensure we move in lockstep.

Estonia is in close contact with Allies & partners as we continue to counter Russia’s malign activities across Europe.

Our response remains calm & clear-eyed.

Today we will summon the Russian charge d'affaires.

Statement of the #Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding tonight's border incident on the Estonian-Russian border on the Narva River

When Russia conquers territory in Ukraine, it murders civic leaders and other civilians, sets up torture chambers, and deports children for assimilation in Russia. Ukrainians resist because defeat or surrender means Russian genocidal policy on the scale of their entire country.

Before.

During.

After.

Spoke about the war, and how to win it, at the conference of Estonian Government human resources directors.

Step by step, we’re sending the message that aggression does not pay.

Now, we’ll move ahead to find a way to use the assets themselves.

We’ll keep raising the cost of aggression until it ends and territorial integrity and sovereignty are restored.

Very happy with the food scene in 🇪🇪, the quality of which has again been confirmed by Michelin.

Another important index, this time, on the crucial pillar of democracy - freedom of the press.

Happy that #Estonia is in the Top 10, again.

For love without fear.

Proud of our Top 10 position in the Rule of Law Index.

Also proud of the fact that 9 out of the top 10 positions belong to 🇪🇺 Member States.

We did it for 🇺🇦.

But also for #Estonia .

And for Europe.

And for the rules based world order.

And for the idea that aggression should not pay.

Violence against elected officials is violence against democracy.

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.

Always great to host friends from Sweden!

And while Tallinn may be the most nearby capital to Stockholm, Stockholm is the third-most-nearby capital to Tallinn (after Helsinki and Riga).

We're one step closer to setting a historic precedent in Europe. Our parliament passed the first law in Europe to allow the use of Russia’s frozen assets to compensate for war damages.

Hope the president will soon announce it as a law.

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.

The Estonian Government has not discussed sending Estonian Defense Forces to Ukraine. While Estonia’s multifaceted aid to #Ukraine continues, troop deployment is not on the agenda.

We absolutely agree - what Putin destroyed, Russia should and must pay to rebuild.

Using Russian frozen assets is the best way to convincingly communicate that time is not on the aggressor’s side.
