Happy Victory in Europe Day!
Also, happy the Day When Two Estonian Schoolgirls Aili Jõgi and Ageeda Paavel Blew up a Russian Occupation Monument in 1946.
They were both deported to Gulag labor camps, but lived long enough to see Estonia regain independence, rebuild, join the EU&NATO and prosper.

Ukraine’s right to choose alliances is non-negotiable. Its future is in NATO.
European nations must step up & be part of the discussion. This means ramping up military aid, sanctions. High time to use Russia’s frozen assets. This is what peace through strength really means. 2/2
