🏒 Congratulations to Finland on becoming 2026 Ice Hockey World Champions! 🇫🇮

It has been wonderful and heartwarming to witness how the whole country celebrates this achievement. A great inspiration for young players to have champions like these as role models.

Onnea, Suomi! 🏆

[Alar Karis @AlarKaris]

Congratulations to President @alexstubb and all Finns on your 5th IIHF World Championship gold! Hockey seems to be in every Finn’s blood—but clearly a bit extra in your family, my friend. 🏒🥇🇫🇮 Enjoy the celebrations!

NATO has decided to assign the @1GENLCorps to the defence of the Baltic states, with primary responsibility for Estonia and Latvia.

This is a major step in strengthening @NATO’s eastern flank and a strong signal that Europe is taking greater responsibility for its own security.

Estonia thanks Germany and the Netherlands for this important decision.

Despite Russia’s threats, Estonian diplomats are not leaving Kyiv.

Threatening diplomats, foreigners, and civilians is unacceptable and a blatant violation of the UN Charter. Russia’s attempts at intimidation only expose its true face.

Estonia will not bow to threats. Our embassy remains open, our diplomats stay in Kyiv, and we continue to stand firmly with Ukraine.

We also conveyed this message yesterday to the representative of the Russian Embassy in Tallinn.

[Estonian MFA 🇪🇪 | 🌻 #StandWithUkraine @MFAestonia]

Today, the #NB8 digital and cyber ambassadors met in Tallinn to advance regional digital and cybersecurity cooperation, and collective resilience. The discussions also focused on continued support for Ukraine’s cyber capabilities.

In an era defined by rapid technological change, rising cyber threats, and increasingly malign influence, cross‑border digital and cyber cooperation is indispensable.

The NB8 region, united by shared values and respect for international law, is uniquely positioned to lead.

With strong public‑private partnerships, we can drive responsible regulation, set high standards, and build secure systems capable of withstanding the challenges of the digital age.

The downing of a drone that entered Estonian airspace proves one thing clearly: @NATO works.

Romanian F-16s responded immediately from Šiauliai, demonstrating that Allies stand united and ready to defend every inch of NATO territory.

Grateful to Romania and all our NATO partners for their swift action and solidarity.

Let’s also be clear: Ukraine has every right to strike Russian military targets to weaken Russia’s ability to wage aggression.

These incidents are the direct result of Russia’s war and provocations. Estonia is strengthening cooperation with Ukraine to enhance our air defence and counter-drone capabilities.

Resilience is not a Finland matter, not a Estonian matter, not a small country matter. It is a matter for all of us. There is a wider transformation going on.

A warm welcome to the new @ccdcoe members Albania, Finland, and Sweden!

A strong step forward in strengthening cooperation, expertise, and collective cyber resilience across the Alliance.

Good discussions this week with Interior Minister Mari Rantanen on border cooperation, resilience, support for Ukraine, and the strong Estonia–Finland partnership. Close cooperation between neighbours remains essential 🇪🇪🇫🇮

Yesterday’s concert at Musiikkitalo by the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Estonia’s own Risto Joost, was a memorable performance. Proud to see Estonian musical excellence celebrated in Helsinki. 🇪🇪🇫🇮

Happy Europe Day 🇪🇺

Europe is freedom - to move, to learn, to build a future without borders.

Estonia has grown with Europe and helped shape it, from digital innovation to standing firm for Ukraine.

Because Europe stands for something worth protecting: freedom, security, and the right to choose our own future.

[Estonian MFA 🇪🇪 | 🌻 #StandWithUkraine @MFAestonia]

Estonia 🇪🇪 ranks #3 in the @RSF_inter 2026 World Press Freedom Index.

Our consistently high position reflects our enduring commitment to protecting a free and independent media landscape, as well as our dedication to ensuring the safety and rights of journalists worldwide.

Free press is the backbone of democracy.

[Janne Jõesaar-Ruusalu 🇪🇪 @JanneJoesaar]

The two-day state visit of President @alarkaris to Finland went by all too quickly. The bond between Estonia and Finland feels stronger than ever. Proud of my Embassy team for their dedication and excellent work throughout.

[Alexander Stubb @alexstubb]

A successful second day of the Estonian state visit.

Today, we visited the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma in Helsinki, the National Defence University in Santahamina, and Aalto University in Espoo. We also attended a business event focused on security and defence technology.

[Margus Tsahkna @Tsahkna]

We - Estonia, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway & Sweden - meeting in Kuressaare 🇪🇪, stand united at a time of heightened geopolitical tensions and Russia’s ongoing war of aggression against Ukraine.
Ukraine’s future lies firmly in the European and Euro-Atlantic family. Supporting its sovereignty, self-defence, and irreversible path to EU & NATO is essential for Europe’s security and future.
We reaffirm our unwavering long-term support, stronger sanctions against Russia, and our commitment to a just and lasting peace grounded in international law.

Today is Veterans’ Day in Estonia, honoring those who have served, those we have lost, and those still standing for our freedom, along with their supporting loved ones.

During Veterans’ Month in April, we wear the blue hepatica as a symbol of remembrance and respect.
