The author wrote that Russian propaganda portrayed the Baltic states both as insignificant and as cunning behind-the-scenes operators influencing major European capitals, with the prevailing portrayal seemingly changing with the phase of the moon. https://t.co/o425OJm1d6 #Россия #БалтийскиеГосударства #Пропаганда

The author wrote that the Royal Navy had supported Estonia during its 1918–19 War of Independence and that Estonian and British soldiers had served alongside one another in Helmand. They said the two countries were now standing together in Estonia to defend Europe, describing them as longstanding allies with shared security interests. #Estonia #NATO #Allies #EE #GB

This is your annual public service reminder that Soviet Union was an ally of Nazi Germany, and they jointly attacked Poland in September 1939. As they had agreed on August 23rd. For USSR aggression against the Baltic States was next, followed by attack against Finland. #History #SovietUnion #NaziGermany #PL #RU #EE #LV #LT #FN

Great to be back on @TimesRadio with @JPonpolitics discussing the NATO Summit in Ankara. My main message: NATO allies should front-load their defence spending. We cannot assume Russia will politely wait until NATO is ready. https://t.co/zsQx7upu4y #NATOSummit #DefenceSpending #Russia #TR #RU

I joined BBC World Service’s Newshour yesterday to discuss Russia’s continued terror bombing of Kyiv, what it reveals about Kremlin’s desperation, and why the West must stay the course in supporting Ukraine. 🎙️ From 3:50 onwards: https://t.co/mgUMzvVKVJ #Ukraine #Russia #Newshour #RU #UA #GB

Who says high defence spending is unpopular? Living next to Russia tends to focus the mind. Estonians’ willingness to defend their country against aggression ranks among the highest in the world. 💪🏻 Si vis pacem, para bellum — if you want peace, prepare for war. #Estonia #Defence #PeaceThroughStrength #EE #RU

Those responsible for these crimes can still walk into an European consulate in Moscow tomorrow and obtain a Schengen visa. It is astonishing that this continues to be tolerated. Estonia has called for a ban on granting entry to 🇷🇺 combatants into the European Union. #SchengenVisa #BanOnEntry #Estonia #EE #RU #EU
