So proud of our Estonian PM @kajakallas In these hard times she is a shining example of what a straightforward, intelligent and honourable leader looks like!
Is there still unity amongst Ukraine's allies? I asked Estonia's Prime Minister @kajakallas who sat down with me in London.
"The question is how much pain are we willing to endure?" she says, while maintaining that "we are in this for the long haul."
Lühidalt siis - mitte keegi ei taha seda. Raha ka ei ole. Kogu see jama teeb pigem kuhjaga kahju. Selle järgi pole ka karjuvat vajadust. Aga kesklased pole oma ekre armastusest üle saanud ja otsivad, vahendeid valimata, tagasiteed vana armastuse juurde. Haige seltskond.
Estonians are a singing nation. So are Ukrainians. Singing means freedom and gives freedom.
Thousands gathered in Tallinn's historic Song Festival Grounds to sing “Oi u luzi chervona kalyna” and raise money for humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
Powerful.

Latest Russian joke:
- Putin's propagandists on TV said nuclear war is fine because patriotic Russians will go to Heaven. Heaven heard it and immediately applied to join NATO!
Superb interview with Estonian PM @kajakallas, the woman who towers over so many Western leaders in courage as well as intelligence. https://t.co/IUJ7Jk3v4n
Seriously?! Why am I even surprised anymore that men around the world seem to feel that they have the right to decide what women look like or do with their bodies. Sad and infuriating.
New president of #Turkmenistan (son of the former head of state) imposed a number of prohibitions for women:
📍Nail and eyelash extensions are now prohibited. Punishment for nails - 15 days in prison or a fine.
📍You can’t dye your hair either neither at home nor in salon.

Kogu Euroopas ei leidu teist liidrit, kes julgeb öelda, mida @kajakallas ütleb. Paraku.
Masendav, et Eestis on parteid, kes tahavad naasta “Ai-tummer-ker-kommer-ker” mula-avalduste juurde.
Everyone switch on to Al Jazeera right now. This is one of the most horrifying things I’ve seen.
IOF is attacking mourners carrying Shireen’s body from the hospital right now. They’re using stun grenades and tear gas and charging at them with horses and batons.
This is Natalia and her 11-year-old twins Yana and Yaroslav. When Russian cluster bomb struck Kramatorsk train station, Yaroslav was inside the building. Natalia and Yana were on the platform waiting for tea offered by volunteers. They are now in Lviv. Pic by Iryna Zaslavets.
Just posting this to make sure nobody says that Russia's current behavior and ideology came as a surprise to them. There were plenty of warnings, the characteristics of fascism were clear and present long time ago. My post below is from February 2015.

A vivid example of how Russian propaganda works. Semyon Pegov, a Russian journalist (?) covering the war, signals a soldier behind him to create a background for his reportage allegedly delivered from the battlefield. So cheap🤦♀️
