Today marks 3⃣9⃣ years since the Chornobyl nuclear disaster.
Yet the threat to nuclear safety has not passed.
Russia’s illegal seizure of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant endangers millions in Ukraine and across Europe.
This cannot be ignored.

These two 24 Februaries have shaped our world.
With one, we stepped towards a more just rules-based world of coexisting sovereign states.
The other, we stepped back toward an age of empires.
If you prefer the former, history shows we must support Ukraine to defeat aggression.

Russia is an unreformed imperial power, proving repeatedly that it can’t be trusted.
In the absence of consequences, Moscow will disregard international law and prior agreements to continue pursuing its neocolonialist agenda.
Aggression, unpunished, emboldens more aggression.

Many around the world stood with us when we were occupied.
Moscow failed to gain much international recognition for its forced annexation of us.
With your support, we showed Moscow’s occupation can be defeated & international law can prevail.
And so we now #StandWithUkraine.

When Estonia regained its freedom, we didn’t need to declare independence again.
We have been continuously independent since 1918. And so we declared the Nazi-Soviet Pact to be null and void.
International law prevailed - and that’s why we celebrate our Independence Day today.

As part of Moscow’s attempt to ensure you never heard about our independence, the occupiers even demolished the balcony - and entire theatre - from which we declared independence in Pärnu.
The balcony has been rebuilt - and our entire country serves as a monument to freedom.

In the Treaty of Tartu, Soviet Russia promised to respect Estonia’s sovereignty & territorial integrity in perpetuity.
That was the first international treaty asserting that all peoples have the right to self-determination. It helped establish the principle in international law.

Momentum was with the people who now had their own government.
Word spread rapidly across Estonia, along with copies of the declaration, that we are a Republic.
Within months, Estonia would be free from all foreign imperial forces for the first time in more than six centuries.

Dawn rose on independent Estonia for the first time on 24 February 1918.
But there was no time to celebrate. Imperial forces were still fighting over our land.
We’d need to be clear that they were in an independent state whose people had the authority to send occupiers home.

Never in the course of centuries have the Estonian people lost their ardent desire for Independence, began the declaration.
It asserted all peoples have the right of self-determination and that Estonia, as of that day, is an independent democratic Republic.

Pärnu had been plunged into darkness by the bombing of a power plant.
But the people were ready for independence.
Within hours of the declaration arriving, 10k copies were printed & distributed, and crowds began gathering with blue, black & white ribbons pinned to their chests.

Across Estonia, a National Awakening movement had been building for decades. Estonians were asserting their rights to use their language & enjoy their culture.
As the age of empires reached its crescendo with the First World War, it was clear that our path out was independence.
