Estonian Ambassador to EU’s Political and Security Committee

[Tigran Balayan @tbalayan]

Suur aitäh to @LKuusing and @EEinEU for hosting the insightful discussion on “Lessons on Hybrid Campaigns and Resilience” on 🇦🇲’s elections. Great contributions from the Pracnet team & 🇦🇲 experts @Abrahamyan__ & @minasyan_sergey. A pleasant bonus: high-quality #Jermuk mineral water has now become the house mineral 🫧 at @EEinEU. 🇦🇲🥤🇪🇪

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?

[Margus Tsahkna @Tsahkna]

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.

[Margus Tsahkna @Tsahkna]

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.

#StandWithUkraine

[Margus Tsahkna @Tsahkna]

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.

[Dmytro Lubinets @lubinetzs]

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.

[Kaja Kallas @kajakallas]

Thank you, Ambassador @ozlem_canel, for your personal contribution to bringing Estonia and the Netherlands closer than ever.

Glad for the strengthened defence cooperation, joint support to Ukraine and partnership in the EU.

All the best in your next posting.

[Hanke Bruins Slot @HankeBruinsSlot]

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.

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

[Margus Tsahkna @Tsahkna]

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.

[Estonia in the Council of Europe @EstoniaCoE]

At the informal ministerial meeting in the sidelines of the @coe #IDAHOT + Forum in The Hague, 🇪🇪 Ambassador @LKuusing underlined the importance of full inclusion of LGBTIQ+ 🏳️‍🌈 individuals into our societies. #Humanrights and fundamental freedoms must be ensured for all people.

[Kaja Kallas @kajakallas]

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.

[Lauri Kuusing @LKuusing]

Celebrating the big bang EU enlargement of 2004 that has been a great success. We didn’t return to Europe but Europe returned to us. Proud to be a member the our community of values.

[Margus Tsahkna @Tsahkna]

I welcomed @HankeBruinsSlot 🇳🇱 in #Tallinn 🇪🇪 today to discuss:
🔹Ramping up military aid to #Ukraine
🔹Raising the cost of war to Russia & using their frozen assets for 🇺🇦

I thanked 🇳🇱 for their contribution to our collective defense in the Baltic region. #StrongerTogether

[Ambassador Jonatan Vseviov @vseviov]

No. 3 in the World.

[Lauri Kuusing @LKuusing]

Marking #NATO75 with former SecGen Jaap de Hoop Scheffer @Atl_Comm Alliance is more relevant than ever. #StrongerTogether

[Kaja Kallas @kajakallas]

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.
