Chairmen of Foreign Affairs Committees of 20 European countries emphasise in their Joint Statement today that just and lasting peace cannot be achieved by yielding to the aggressor; instead, it must be grounded in international law and respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity, independence, and sovereignty.🇪🇪🇧🇪🇩🇰🇫🇮🇫🇷🇳🇴🇪🇸🇵🇱🇮🇸🇱🇹🇺🇦🇱🇻🇸🇪🇪🇺🇬🇧🇨🇿🇮🇹🇮🇪🇳🇱🇱🇺🇵🇹

Ukrainian children are being forced into a system that erases identity and glorifies violence.
Tonight we screened After the Rain: Putin's Stolen Children Come Home - a powerful film on resilience. Thanks to Sarah McCarthy, @UA_EUMission, @EEinEU for spotlighting this violation.

Is Wagner marching on Moscow again, or starting with St. Petersburg this time? Hard to tell.
From our side it looks like they’ve already annexed the Russian border guards.
Who knows… @mfa_russia?

Today @MFAestonia summoned Russia’s chargé d’affaires over another violation of Estonia’s airspace, when three Russian MiG-31s entered our airspace over the Gulf of Finland for 12 minutes.
This is an unprecedented and brazen intrusion — clear proof of Russia’s growing aggression.
Such actions cannot be tolerated and must be met with swift political and economic pressure.

Estonia stands firmly with Ukraine 🇺🇦, its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
If borders can be changed by force, none are safe.
If nations can be forced to live under a bigger neighbour’s dictate, none are free.
Sovereignty and territorial integrity are the cornerstones of global stability. We will not reward aggression — not in Ukraine, not anywhere.
Ukraine can count on our unwavering support in achieving a just and lasting peace.

For the fourth year now, Ukraine has withstood Russia’s full-scale war on land, at sea and in the air.
We owe our independence to the courage of our defenders and resilience of our people.
Ukrainians deserve a just peace based on the international law and respect for our territorial integrity and borders defined by our Constitution.
Russia must not be rewarded for starting this war.
Despite tireless efforts by the United States and Ukraine’s continued willingness to seek a fair peace, Russia continues its terror against civilians, ignores deadlines, and shows no genuine interest in ending the war.
Ukraine remains open to meaningful dialogue and real solutions negotiated together with Ukraine, respecting the will of our people.
We need a lasting peace that won’t be destroyed by Moscow’s next move. Ukraine stands ready to work with the United States and all our international partners to achieve together a just and lasting peace.

The only obstacle to peace is Putin’s decision to continue his war of aggression.
If Russia stops fighting, there will be no war.
If Ukraine stops fighting, there will be no Ukraine.
Estonia’s 🇪🇪support to Ukraine 🇺🇦 remains unwavering. Time for Europe to step up.

This week, I am working in Brussels, presenting information to the international community about Russia's war crimes. I informed European diplomats about the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children, torture, and human rights violations.

Russia's provocative behaviour regarding the EU borders with #Estonia, #Finland and #Lithuania is completely unacceptable. We commend the calm and composed responses of these countries. Their borders are also our borders: we stand in full solidarity with our allies.

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.

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.

For a strong #NATO, we need to be clear-eyed on Russia, boost deterrence and defence spending, back Ukraine's membership, and geographic balance.
I have discussed this in depth with @markrutte and he commits to these priorities. Estonia can back him for NATO's Secretary General.
