Le ministre estonien des Affaires étrangères @Tsahkna, en visite à Paris, s’est exprimé dans l’émission Talking Europe sur @France24_en
Europe must be part of efforts to end Russia’s war against Ukraine, but not as a neutral mediator between the aggressor and its victim.
We stand with Ukraine. We must increase pressure on Russia, use its frozen assets to support Ukraine and remain united against the Kremlin’s attempts to divide our societies.
I discussed Europe’s role in achieving a just peace in Ukraine and European security with @France24_en: youtube.com/watch?v=aAp6mPFH…

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.

No foreign visit would be possible without the dedication and professionalism of the diplomats and experts who shape the agenda, coordinate every detail, and ensure each engagement delivers real results.
Thank you to our colleagues at @EstEmbassyFR for the warm welcome in Paris and for the outstanding work you do every day to strengthen Estonian-French relations.

Great meeting in Paris with my friend and colleague @jnbarrot.
We discussed strengthening Estonia-France ties, boosting Europe's security and resilience, maintaining pressure on Russia, and increasing support for Ukraine.
At a time when Russia shows no signs of changing course, neither should we. Ukraine’s security is Europe’s security.
Estonia and France stand united as EU partners and @NATO allies. Our cooperation spans defence, business, digital affairs, culture, and education.
We will continue working closely to deepen our partnership, reinforce Europe's security and competitiveness, and advance a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.
Thank you, Jean-Noël, for the warm welcome and excellent discussions.

🇫🇷🇪🇪 Ce matin, j’ai reçu à Bercy @Tsahkna, ministre estonien des Affaires étrangères.
Au cœur de nos échanges : renforcer la coopération franco-estonienne dans l’intelligence artificielle et créer de nouvelles opportunités pour nos entreprises.
Prochaine étape : le Tallinn Digital Summit, pour poursuivre ce travail entre deux pays engagés pour une Europe plus forte dans le numérique. 🇪🇺

This morning, I met with France’s Minister Delegate for AI and Digital Affairs, @ALehenanff, to discuss ways to deepen Estonia-France cooperation in the digital sphere, particularly artificial intelligence.
As technological change accelerates, AI offers immense opportunities to strengthen our economies, improve public services, education, and enhance the well-being of our societies.
I look forward to continuing these discussions at the Tallinn Digital Summit.

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.

Deeply saddened by the tragic crash of a French Mirage 2000D fighter jet near Nancy.
My heartfelt condolences to those mourning a loved one. My thoughts are also with the family still waiting for news, the crew’s fellow service members and everyone involved in the search.
Estonia stands with our friends in France at this difficult time.
🇪🇪🇫🇷
🇪🇪🇫🇷 Today, our Secretary General Jonatan Vseviov met with France’s Ambassador to Estonia, Alexandre Escorcia.
France’s commitment to our shared security is visible right here in Estonia, where French troops serve alongside Allied forces. Their presence reflects a shared understanding: security on NATO’s eastern flank is essential to the security of Europe as a whole.
Strengthening Europe’s defence, sustaining strong military support for Ukraine 🇺🇦 and increasing pressure on Russia must go hand in hand. France is an important partner in all three.
Merci à la #France pour son engagement à nos côtés et pour notre sécurité commune !
Grâce à son infrastructure numérique avancée et à son programme d’e-résidence, l’#Estonie attire de plus en plus de start-up françaises.

France’s action sends a clear message: Russia’s shadow fleet cannot operate with impunity.
We must work together to stop sanctions evasion at sea, using every measure available under international law.
These vessels keep Russia’s oil revenues flowing and help finance its war against Ukraine. We must cut that funding and ensure that sanctions are enforced, not just imposed.
C’est ainsi qu’il faut agir. 🇫🇷
La France est déterminée à lutter contre la flotte fantôme, partout dans le monde.
Ce matin, à plus de 450 nautiques au sud de La Réunion, notre Marine nationale a arraisonné le pétrolier DF Peak, suspecté de naviguer sous un faux pavillon et impliqué dans des activités illicites de transport de carburants.
Cette action, conduite conformément au droit international de la mer, témoigne de notre détermination à faire respecter le droit et à lutter contre tous les trafics illicites, où qu’ils se produisent.
La nouvelle présidente de la République d’Estonie, Ülle Madise, a officiellement pris ses fonctions aujourd’hui, le 12 octobre. Tous nos vœux de succès, Madame la Présidente !
Today I took my oath of office before @Riigikogu, with a deep sense of responsibility & humbleness. Together, we shape Estonia’s future. Thank you for your kind wishes, and thank you, President @AlarKaris.

Estonia and Ukraine continue their close defence cooperation, sharing experience and supporting each other. 🇪🇪🇺🇦
In Kyiv, Defence Ministers Martin Herem and Evgeniy Khmara, also discussed how Ukraine’s battlefield experience can help strengthen the Baltic Defence Line.
“We have much to learn from Ukraine about protecting the lives of our people and service personnel. The Baltic Defence Line must take a comprehensive approach, drawing on Ukraine’s experience and integrating fortifications with drone defence,” said Herem.
Estonia is committed to providing military support to Ukraine worth at least 0.25% of GDP every year, and urges all our friends and Allies to do the same.
This year, €73 million in military aid has already been delivered or is on its way. Most of our support will take the form of products made by Estonian companies, alongside funding for industrial projects under the Build with Ukraine initiative.

I met with Estonian Defense Minister Martin Herem. In practically every meeting with partners, we discuss how to strengthen the protection of Ukraine’s skies. Estonia is actively helping us in this area, and we are grateful for every defense package and for its support for the PURL initiative, which enables us to obtain ballistic missile interceptors.
Today, we discussed possible new contributions and ways to secure additional funding for air defense procurement. The Drone Deal between our countries allows Ukraine to export its arms to Estonia. Estonia gains battle-tested weapons, and Ukraine gains additional funding for its defense. We agreed that our teams will move quickly to put together such an export package.
I am also grateful to Estonia for its steadfast support for Ukraine on our path to joining the EU.

J'exprime notre pleine solidarité avec l'Estonie qui vient d'attribuer à la Russie la responsabilité d'un incendie ciblant une entreprise du secteur de la défense.
Il y a quelques semaines l'Allemagne en avait fait de même pour un incident très grave à l'aéroport de Leipzig.
La multiplication de ces actes hostiles traduit une dangereuse fuite en avant de la part de la Russie, qui ne fera que la mener dans l'impasse.
La Russie doit savoir qu'elle n'aura raison ni de notre unité, ni de notre détermination à continuer de soutenir l'Ukraine.
