🇭🇺70 years ago, Hungarians rose up against Soviet oppression. The 1956 uprising was crushed, but the courage of those who stood up for freedom inspired hope among Estonians living under Soviet occupation. Our peoples share a deep understanding of what freedom means. As we begin a new chapter in Estonian–Hungarian relations, we keep the memory of 1956 alive. Tisztelet a hősöknek! @MFAHungary

Just four weeks after restoring its independence in 1991, Estonia joined the @UN. 🇪🇪🇺🇳 For Estonia, the UN Charter stands for a fundamental principle: all states, large or small, are sovereign equals. No country's future should be decided by force. On #UNDay, we reaffirm our commitment to the UN and to upholding these principles in practice. @EstoniaUN

Horrified by the deadly attack on people attending a funeral at a church in Karak, Jordan. Such violence is indefensible. My heartfelt condolences to the families of those killed, and I wish the injured a swift recovery. Those responsible must be brought to justice. Estonia stands with Jordan and its people. @AymanHsafadi

Russian attacks on civilian ships in the Black Sea are unjustifiable and pile heavy pressure on global food supplies. The latest deadly drone strike on a cargo ship near Romanian waters is another escalation. Romania’s Foreign Minister @DanNeculaescu and I spoke yesterday about the deteriorating regional security situation and we remain in close contact.

Deeply shocked by the deadly shooting in the Parisian suburbs. My heartfelt condolences to the victim’s family and loved ones. Wishing those injured a full and swift recovery. Estonia stands with France in the face of this horrific violence.
Des faits très graves viennent de se produire à Trappes, dans les Yvelines. Une personne a été tuée et quatre autres blessées. L’individu a été interpellé et placé en garde à vue. L’ensemble des moyens des forces de sécurité et de l’autorité judiciaire sont pleinement mobilisés. Le Parquet national antiterroriste a annoncé se placer en observation. Les autorités compétentes communiqueront en temps voulu.

Our autumn tradition continues! We welcomed Estonia’s ambassadors to EU and @NATO countries, alongside colleagues from Tallinn, to Brussels. Kyllike Sillaste-Elling, Katrin Juhandi and Julika Luts set the scene with perspectives from Coreper II, Coreper I and the PSC on the EU’s priorities and the negotiations ahead. We discussed the next EU budget, sustained support for Ukraine, continued pressure on Russia and opening all accession clusters with Ukraine and Moldova. Competitiveness and the single market also featured, alongside Arctic security and the EU’s security strategy. 🧵

A pleasure to speak with Romania’s new Foreign Minister @DanNeculaescu today and congratulate him personally on his appointment! 🇷🇴 I reiterated that Estonia stands in full solidarity with Romania and all other partners along the Black Sea in light of Russia’s attacks. I was glad that Dan highlighted the importance of closer coordination between NATO Allies in the Black Sea and Baltic Sea regions. I also thanked Romania for its swift response in May, when a Romanian F-16 shot down a drone in Estonian airspace. A concrete example of Allied solidarity. Looking forward to welcoming you to Estonia, Dan!

Started my visit to Paris with an excellent exchange with members of the French National Assembly, @platombe, @JL_Thieriot, and @npouzyreff78. We discussed Europe's most pressing security challenges, the need to boost competitiveness, and stand firmly with Ukraine. A stronger, more secure Europe and unwavering support for Ukraine go hand in hand. Europe must remain united and resolute.

Today, Estonia decided to contribute another €10 million through NATO’s PURL initiative, bringing our total contribution through this mechanism to €31 million. This will help Ukraine obtain urgently needed air defence and ammunition. This year, Estonia’s military assistance to Ukraine amounts to 0.3% of our GDP. Russian strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure have left hundreds of thousands without power. With winter approaching, this support is vital to protecting lives and keeping essential services running. The stronger Ukraine can defend itself, the less Russia can dictate the terms of peace. We must keep supporting Ukraine and increasing pressure on Russia.
