💥 The fight against Russian hybrid attacks can only be achieved through unified and strong steps from the EU. For example, improving information exchange between intelligence agencies, ending visa facilitation for Russian citizens, adequate sanctions, etc. I spoke about this in my speech during the discussion at the plenary session of the European Parliament. (translated)

I met with the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, at the Élysée Palace in Paris. Estonia's relations with France are very important. This concerns many areas from defense and security to economic cooperation and investments. France also plays a significant role in the developments across Europe. (translated)

The EU countries must quickly return to the use of frozen assets of Russia. (translated)

Unfortunately, it is still the case that action is only taken when some trouble has already occurred. Now the EU is only planning to restrict tourism visas for Russian citizens. The suspect in the drone attack at Leipzig airport, a Russian citizen, came to Europe with Schengen travel documents issued by Italy. (translated)

It is very important that despite the long summer and holidays, at least those four EU countries - the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and Sweden - called for a return to the issue of the use of frozen state assets of Russia to cover Ukraine's significant budget deficit. (translated)

Russia's war crimes against Ukrainian cultural heritage must have consequences for the aggressor. I signed a petition proposing the imposition of extensive sanctions on the Russian Ministry of Culture. Russia is consistently destroying Ukrainian cultural heritage, and there must be a response to this. (translated)

The statement by the President of Kazakhstan about the senselessness of the war against Ukraine and the recognition of Ukrainians and Ukrainian culture during a meeting with Putin in Omsk, Russia, in front of the whole world is very significant. It put Putin in a rather mediocre situation. (translated)

Ja šis darījums notiks un OTP patiešām nopirks “Luminor”, es nedomāju, kurš no Igaunijas klientiem vēlētos sadarboties ar banku, kurai ir vienaldzīga attieksme pret Krievijas karu pret Ukrainu

Ja šis darījums tiks noslēgts, es nevaru iedomāties, kurš no klientiem Igaunijā vēlēsies sadarboties ar banku, kurai ir vienalga par Krievijas karu Ukrainā.

I was in Paris today at the invitation of the President of France, an important ally of Estonia, to watch the French national holiday parade. During these two and a half hours, there were many moving and beautiful moments. The Estonian flag and soldiers at the head of the parade, the presence of the President of Ukraine and NATO allies.

The Int Olympic Committee #IOC is an immoral organization that has caused enormous damage to the reputation of the Olympic movement. For them, starting and waging war is ok. Killing and deporting children is ok. Killing Ukrainian athletes is ok. A disgusting organization. #Olympics #IOC #Ukraine #UA

The EU announced that it will spend €8.3 million to set up “regional hubs” tasked with monitoring and repairing subsea cables, in the latest move since the Commission decided to tackle alleged sabotage from Russian vessels in the Baltic. #EUSecurity #SubseaCables #BalticProtection #EU #RU

Russia's attack on Kyiv caused extensive damage to the nearly 1000-year-old Kiev Pechersk Lavra monastery, which is part of the world's cultural heritage. Moreover, this monastery plays a very important role in Orthodox history. Additionally, Russia is destroying not only human lives but also world cultural heritage and memory. (translated)

Today, 85 years ago, the Soviet Russian occupying power deported many of our compatriots to Russia. Unfortunately, history has not taught us much, and such horrors are repeating in the present time. The picture depicts Olga Terri's painting "Fear," which she created during Stalin's regime in 1952. (translated)

#Irish made alumina from the Aughinish refinery is flowing straight to Russian smelters, then into aluminium for sanctioned Russian missiles, drones, and weapons. The #EU must ban the material feeding #Russia’s war machine. https://t.co/HnYNvP0Dg4 #Alumina #EU #Russia #IE #RU #EU

Today is Children’s Day. While #Russia persecutes children for their anti-war views, #Ukrainian children continue to suffer the consequences of Russia’s aggression-from death and displacement to the forced transfer from occupied territories and efforts to erase their identities. #ChildrensDay #Russia #Ukraine #RU #UA
