Estonia in the EU 🇪🇪🇪🇺
In autumn, as the leaves change color and days grow shorter, we host the Estonian Ambassadors from EU and NATO countries, along with colleagues from Tallinn, here in Brussels. Delighted to share firsthand insights on the most pressing issues right at the heart of the EU. 🧵

Amb @KyllikeSillaste briefed Coreper II on last Friday’s violation of Estonian airspace by Russia. Thanks for the strong support: clear proof of #EU unity and solidarity. This incursion is part of a pattern; we must strengthen our air defence starting today. #StrongerTogether

Today COREPER held its 3000th meeting. Behind the scenes, ambassadors prepare ministers’ meetings and forge the compromises that keep Europe united and strong. Now: supporting Ukraine, stepping up pressure on Russia, keeping Europe secure and competitive, and the next EU budget

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

The only obstacle to peace is Putin’s decision to continue his war of aggression. If Russia stops fighting, there will be no war. If Ukraine stops fighting, there will be no Ukraine. Estonia’s 🇪🇪support to Ukraine 🇺🇦 remains unwavering. Time for Europe to step up.

We shouldn't take anything off the table before the negotiations have even started. It is clear that any deal behind our backs will not work. You need the Europeans, you need the Ukrainians. Extract from my doorstep ahead of @nato Defence Ministers meeting ↓

Ukraine's humanitarian needs remain high. As time passes, we cannot lose our focus on: - providing #Ukraine with comprehensive support - calling Russia to account for its unprovoked&unjustified aggression -honouring all who have lost their lives fighting for Ukraine's freedom
Estonia in the EU 🇪🇪🇪🇺@EEinEU

As we near 1000 days since Russia's aggression against #Ukraine, we must stay steadfast in our support. Amb @KyllikeSillaste hosted @EEinEU,#EU, #UN, and Ukrainian representatives to unite our efforts for humanitarian aid and reconstruction. Together we can make an impact!/1

Thank you Sweden for this insightful report on the real state of Russia's economy. EU sanctions are working. We need to keep going with them for as long as Russia's aggression against Ukraine continues. Must keep this issue firmly on the #ECOFIN agenda. @EEinEU
Sweden in EU@SwedeninEU

(🧵1/2) The story of a strong and resilient Russian economy is propaganda and a part of Russian warfare. A recent Swedish report shows that the sanctions are working. We must continue to limit Russia’s capacity to finance the war against Ukraine - @ElisabethSvan at #ECOFIN

They were among tens of thousands of Estonians who fled their homeland in the belief that they would soon return. Many decades went by. But eventually justice and freedom prevailed. Today we are strong, free & independent. Forever. Long live Estonia! Elagu Eesti!

They escaped in a small fishing boat to Finland, then to Sweden & eventually to #Canada, that generously received war refugees from 🇪🇪 & elsewhere in Europe.

OTD 80 years ago my grandfather, grandmother & my 7 year old mother fled #Estonia, leaving everything behind, as the invading Red Army advanced rapidly on Tallinn in September 1944.
