Honoured to participate at my first #NATOsummit Leaders’ dinner.
The presence of Volodymyr Zelenskyy sends a clear message - NATO stands with Ukraine.
NATO membership continues to be the best security guarantee for Ukraine. And NATO needs Ukraine too – to make our Alliance stronger.

Estonia has over 100,000 reservists. Last year, nearly one in four took part in military exercises.
But even the strongest need support. That is why we celebrate Reservists’ Week - to honor those who serve and those who stand behind them.
Security is our shared responsibility.

Today is the Day for Protection of Children.
In Europe, the biggest threat to their safety is Putin’s war. Russia has killed hundreds of Ukrainian children and forcibly deported dozens of thousands.
We cannot give up our support. Children in Ukraine deserve a better tomorrow.

Russia is still not interested in peace - it only understands pressure and strength.

We call Russia to accept the unconditional, immediate ceasefire for 30 days. Only this can pave the way for negotiations.
If Putin decides to continue the killings, our response will be resolute.

Our government approved setting up a state-owned company to build a new military explosives plant in Estonia.
This will contribute to narrowing the gap in European ammunition production.

Deported. Re-educated. Erased. Russia has stolen up to 200,000 children from Ukraine.
Estonia has felt the pain of deportations. If war crimes go unpunished, they repeat.
We must make sure that Russia will not get away this time.
