Belarus should not get the impression that pressure on the external border of the European Union is unpunished activity. Such escalation should have a price in addition to the already existing sanctions," said Igor Taro. All our allies are ready to support Latvia, which is facing a migration attack, just as we previously supported Poland and Lithuania. The responsibility lies entirely with the Belarusian regime, which supports and encourages illegal border crossings and contributes to the damage of Latvia's border infrastructure," Taro emphasized. #миграция #Беларусь #ЕвропейскийСоюз (translated)

"If someone is foolish enough to attack us, we will fight. We will stop the attack and deprive the opponent of the opportunity to achieve their goals, whatever they may be," Grinkevich said. Grinkevich assured that Washington remains committed to the principle of NATO's collective defense, and in his opinion, the willingness of European countries to take on more responsibility for their own defense will only strengthen NATO. Grinkevich also urged allies to swiftly hold Russia accountable for any acts of sabotage if there is evidence, and to clearly communicate to Moscow "where our red lines are." #НАТО #Россия #безопасность (translated)

The sanctions list has been expanded to include 743 individuals and 826 legal entities that contribute to Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine through their activities. This is the largest expansion of the EU sanctions list to date. Thus, the EU is increasing pressure on Russia and limiting its capabilities to continue the war. According to Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna, this shows that Europe is staying the course and continuing to intensify sanctions pressure on Russia. In recent weeks, Russia has become even more brutal in its attacks and continues to demonstrate that it is not ready for peace. In the lead-up to the fifth military winter, Ukraine needs both military and economic and political support, and Europe is continuing to act to provide the necessary assistance. Estonia believes that to cover Ukraine's financial needs, frozen Russian assets in Europe should be utilized. First, it is necessary to hold those responsible for all attacks accountable, as this will help deter individuals who are recruited to carry them out. Second, opportunities for Russian citizens to travel to Europe must be limited. We need to put an end to the situation where more than half a million visas are issued annually to Russian citizens for entry into the Schengen area. The expansion of the EU will make the union stronger and enhance its security. By admitting neighboring countries that share our values into the union, we will reduce the opportunities for third countries to harm our neighbors through disinformation campaigns and other influence activities. #санкции #Россия #Украина (translated)

NATO is working. In the Baltic Sea region, we clearly see this in the air where our allies' planes respond to violations of airspace, at sea where NATO ships are part of the Baltic Sentry vigilance measures, and on land where our alliance allies' units are on duty. We are grateful to our allies for this contribution and, for our part, also make our own. In this year and in the coming years, our defense spending will exceed five percent of GDP," said Prime Minister Krysten Michal. #НАТО #Таллин #БалтийскоеМоре (translated)

Russia is bombing Ukrainian ports and obstructing the arrival of Ukrainian grain to the global market, but at the same time wants to earn revenue from transporting its grain through the European Union. Our infrastructure should not help Russia finance the war. We must increase pressure on the aggressor and help Ukraine deliver its products to the global market," said Prime Minister Kristan Michal. #Украина #зерно #ЕвропейскийСоюз (translated)
