Thank you, suur aitäh, for three fantastic and also historic years in Estonia. My successor, ambassador Charlotte Wrangberg, is arriving promptly. Welcome! 🇸🇪 🇪🇪
Important adoption of the 14th sanctions package against 🇷🇺. A significant package including measures to tackle the 🇷🇺“shadow fleet”, contributing to 🇷🇺 warfare. The 🇪🇺 now also bans the transshipment of 🇷🇺liquified natural gas (LNG) going to 3rd countries. #StandWithUkraine
The new 14th sanctions package against Russia includes important measures, proposed by Sweden, against the Russian “shadow fleet” and a ban on the import of Russian liquified natural gas (LNG) to European LNG terminals that are not connected to the EU’s common gas network.
The EU stays united and strong behind the Ukrainian people and we will continue to take important measures in curbing the Russian war machine.

Close Nordic cooperation strengthens our collective security.
The Nordic foreign ministers are meeting in Stockholm and the agenda includes current security issues, Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine, the upcoming NATO Summit in Washington DC and the situation in Israel and Palestine. The meeting takes place within the framework of Sweden’s Presidency of the N5.

We improved. And learned that being friend and trading partner with your neighbours is much better than constantly fighting them or to dream about lost and antiquated empires.
And that is something that other states maybe could learn from - such as Russia. Or the countries of the Western Balkans. Or the Middle-East.
I am very pleased that Ukraine and Moldova are ready for the next step towards becoming members of the European Union. 🇪🇺
Sweden has been supporting Ukraine’s and Moldova’s closer ties to the EU for decades. Ukraine and Moldova belong in
the EU.
To the people of Ukraine and Moldova: Welcome home to Europe! Another important step has been taken today.
A strong EU ensures protection from Russia.
Thank you for the warm welcome, @SwedishPM
Estonia and Sweden are closer than ever: we’re good friends and partners and now Allies with a capital A.
We’re determined to enhance the security and competitiveness of our region together.
We also stand united in supporting Ukraine.
I am in Stockholm today.
The main focus of my visit is to strengthen business and economic ties between #Estonia and #Sweden.
I look forward to my meeting with @SwedishPM Ulf Kristersson and attending Sommarminglet with Swedish tech entrepreneurs.

I would like to thank my Nordic colleagues and @ZelenskyyUa for today's Nordic-Ukrainian Summit in Stockholm.
Important steps have been taken towards strengthening cooperation between our countries in our support for Ukraine. Ukraine is fighting not only for its own freedom, but also for ours. You have our full support.
