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

Estonians were outnumbered and outgunned.

But the strength of 🇪🇪 Estonian resilience and ingenuity, combined with international support, took the Russian invaders by surprise as their war of aggression returned onto their own territory.

Soviet Russia was given no choice but to compromise.

Of course, the Soviet Union invaded us again in 1940, in collusion with Nazi Germany, and staged an illegal annexation - literally at gunpoint.

But what did we learn from our War of Independence? That real peace must deliver justice and security. And that requires strength.

Soviet Russia invaded Estonia in late 1918. After intense fighting & negotiating, this war of aggression ended with Russia agreeing in the Tartu Peace Treaty to fully respect Estonia's independence in perpetuity.
