I condemn in the strongest sense the complete ban on media freedom in Russia & the decision to arrest The Wall Street Journal journalist, a member of free foreign media, a U.S citizen. Stay strong Evan Gershkovich.

During the #B9 meeting in Lodz #Poland 🇵🇱 I emphasised it’s time for #NATO to annul the Founding Act with Russia. Russia is ignoring all principles of international law & is waging an inhumane war in #Ukraine. We also spoke about European security & giving 🇺🇦a clear path to NATO.

Unfortunately it´s not an absurd joke that Russia assumes presidency of #UNSC today, all the while waging a war against 🇺🇦for over a year now, gravely violating international law & principles of the #UNCharter. #UkraineWillWin & Russia will face justice for all crimes committed.

Historic day as we welcome our neighbour #Finland🇫🇮 to NATO. I reiterated that Russia´s threats & fear-mongering hasn’t made us steer off the path towards a safer, united Europe and safer world. I truly hope to see Swedish🇸🇪 flag hoisted here soon. #StrongerTogether #WeAreNATO

Yesterday was a great day but tons of work to do. Before #VilniusSummit the Alliance needs to form a clear roadmap for #Ukraine🇺🇦 to become a full member of NATO. As Russia is the most significant & direct threat to NATO we must collectively raise our def. expenditure to ↗️2.5%

We condemn the attacks in Tel Aviv🇮🇱, #WestBank & are deeply concered about tensions in #Jerusalem. Condolences to the families of the victims & swift recovery to the injured. There is no justification for violence against innocent people & we call on refraining from escalation.

Video is circulating on #Twitter showing Russians beheading Ukrainian soldier... ...And yet we are literally talking about need for a dialogue & competing against each other on #Olympics? What are we doing here? Estonia🇪🇪 stands & will stand with Ukraine🇺🇦. Until it's victory!

Vladimir Kara-Murza was just sentenced with 25 years just for being an opposition politician. All the people who are responsible for this outrageous sentencing must be sanctioned immediately. Our thoughts are with you & your family Vladimir Kara-Murza.

#Estonia is preparing national legislation to use frozen assets to put pressure on Russia to pay for damages they have caused in #Ukraine. The mechanism foresees assets to be allocated to 🇺🇦. This is the action 🇪🇪 takes against the agressor state. Read: vm.ee/en/news/estoni…
