It was not just the British who bled and died alongside 🇺🇸 forces in Afghanistan. 🇪🇪 per capita losses were among the highest of all Allies, because we served on the front lines in Helmand, side by side with UK forces and American Marines.

We will always remember Jako Karuks, Kalle Torn, Ivar Brok, Allain Tikko, Eerik Salmus, Raivis Kang, Kristjan Jalakas, Herdis Sikka, Agris Hutrof & all those wounded 🇪🇪 soldiers in Afghanistan. Estonians were on the frontline, supporting our Allies, & defending #NATO article 5.

Joint statement by the NB8 Foreign Ministers: Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian cities and critical energy infrastructure aim to cut electricity, heating and water, violate international humanitarian law and may constitute war crimes. Attacks linked to nuclear power infrastructure put nuclear safety at serious risk. 🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹🇫🇮🇸🇪🇳🇴🇩🇰🇮🇸 vm.ee/en/news/statem…

If you’ve been following me for a while, this story won't surprise you, but it should absolutely alarm you. Estonians are waking up to find their entire history being systematically erased and replaced with pro-Kremlin propaganda on Wikipedia. We are talking about a massive, industrial-scale information war. The Russian playbook is in full swing. The birthplaces of hundreds of prominent Estonians have been changed from "Estonia" to "Soviet Union". Detailed historical records of Soviet repressions, mass arrests, and executions have been scrubbed clean. Even the Estonian War of Independence is being redefined. Instead of a heroic struggle for self-determination, it is being framed as "separatism" by "aggressive" Estonians against Russia. But here is the kicker: when Estonian volunteers tried to restore the truth, they were the ones banned. Senior editors have locked these pro-Kremlin distortions in place, turning lies into "protected facts." This sounds familiar because it is the exact same strategy being used against Israel. Pro-Palestinian editors are aggressively scrubbing the documented, continuous history of the Jewish people. Critical entries like "Zionism" and the "Gaza War" are flooded with disinformation, while any attempt to bring back factual reality is met with immediate bans. Wikipedia, much like the UN, "human rights" organizations and some sectors of the academia, has been hijacked. It has become a tool for the anti-Western axis to sow chaos, fuel division, and manufacture a fake consensus. When "truth" is decided by the most aggressive editor rather than historical record, the democratic world is in serious trouble. 🇪🇪🇮🇱

Setting the tone! Estonia’s NB8 Chairmanship kick-off today! #NB8

It is cold in Vilnius, but had a warm and informative talk @GSSC_LT with the Estonian foreign minister @Tsahkna, who came to meet @BudrysKestutis at the annual Snow meeting.

From the Baltic to the Black Sea, and from countering hybrid threats to advancing EU enlargement, we reviewed key security priorities with my Romanian colleague, @oana_toiu. We also discussed introducing a unified ban on issuing Schengen visas and residence permits to Russian citizens who have taken up arms against Ukraine.

Alright, it’s time to kick off the first foreign visit of 2026. Lithuania awaits. ✈️🇱🇹

Estonia🇪🇪 is contributing to planning the joint European military exercise in Greenland🇬🇱 and is ready to put boots on the ground if requested.

Today marks one year since the mass protests started in Georgia 🇬🇪. Thousands of citizens courageously stood up for their country’s democratic path. We pay tribute to all Georgians who continue to uphold fundamental rights and freedoms, and keep alive the belief in a free and democratic Georgia. Your resilience, dignity, and unwavering commitment to European values remain truly inspirational - a powerful reminder that the spirit of democracy cannot be silenced. Estonia 🇪🇪 stands firmly with the people of Georgia and supports your aspirations for a democratic, European future.

Chairmen of Foreign Affairs Committees of 20 European countries emphasise in their Joint Statement today that just and lasting peace cannot be achieved by yielding to the aggressor; instead, it must be grounded in international law and respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity, independence, and sovereignty.🇪🇪🇧🇪🇩🇰🇫🇮🇫🇷🇳🇴🇪🇸🇵🇱🇮🇸🇱🇹🇺🇦🇱🇻🇸🇪🇪🇺🇬🇧🇨🇿🇮🇹🇮🇪🇳🇱🇱🇺🇵🇹

80 years ago, the Nuremberg Trials cemented the principle that individuals, not just states, can be held accountable for international crimes. Today, as Russia continues its unlawful aggression against Ukraine 🇺🇦 and violates the very foundations of international order, we must intensify pressure and redouble efforts to ensure justice. Establishing a special tribunal for the crime of aggression is not only vital, it is indispensable.

Nordic-Baltic 8 Leaders’ Statement ⬇️

Just spoke with my good colleague @andrii_sybiha. Estonia stands firmly in solidarity with Ukraine 🇺🇦. Russia has not altered its objectives, it continues to threaten the security of the entire Euro-Atlantic region. We must maintain maximum pressure on the aggressor and provide unwavering support to Ukraine. The future of Ukraine and Europe must be shaped with both at the table.

Bravo ! A standing ovation in 🇱🇹 Vilnius for 🇱🇻 Latvijas Radio koris performance of 🇪🇪 Arvo Pärt's "Kanon pokajanen". Backstage together with Estonian colleague @irmakaljulaid a chance to discuss Baltic music with conductor Kaspars Putniņš.

Is Wagner marching on Moscow again, or starting with St. Petersburg this time? Hard to tell. From our side it looks like they’ve already annexed the Russian border guards. Who knows… @mfa_russia?

Estonia fully supports Lithuania 🇱🇹following incursions into its airspace from Belarus, which have caused major disruption to civil aviation. We must protect our borders, impose costs for these hybrid activities by Belarus and ensure they will not succeed.

Proud moment in Kyiv today! With the signing of the MoU, Estonia confirms our readiness to host the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Tallinn in 2027. Thank you, @andrii_sybiha, for the excellent meeting. Estonia stands with Ukraine and keeps supporting and rebuilding together! 🇪🇪🤝🇺🇦

Today’s violation of Lithuanian airspace by Russia is another clear act of reckless behaviour and disregard of international norms. Estonia stands firmly with Lithuania. This fits a worrying pattern we have seen before, repeated intrusions and hybrid pressure against @NATO Allies and EU partners. Europe must and will continue to strengthen its defence.

Estonia 🇪🇪, together with 🇮🇸🇩🇰🇱🇹🇱🇻🇸🇪🇳🇴🇨🇦🇬🇧🇳🇱expressed firm support in @OSCE CiO to 🇫🇮 FM @elinavaltonen. We commend her engagement with Georgian🇬🇪 stakeholders and support for OSCE commitments incl. freedom of expression and assembly. We fully support her mandate across the South Caucasus.
