Historic decision! NATO Allies agreed to raise defence spending to 5%.
Thankful to @SecGenNATO and @POTUS for their leadership in facilitating the agreement.
Now we must show joint effort to deliver what we promised. And we will. #WeAreNATO
Honoured to participate at my first #NATOsummit Leaders’ dinner.
The presence of Volodymyr Zelenskyy sends a clear message - NATO stands with Ukraine.
NATO membership continues to be the best security guarantee for Ukraine. And NATO needs Ukraine too – to make our Alliance stronger.

Estonia has over 100,000 reservists. Last year, nearly one in four took part in military exercises.
But even the strongest need support. That is why we celebrate Reservists’ Week - to honor those who serve and those who stand behind them.
Security is our shared responsibility.
Today is the Day for Protection of Children.
In Europe, the biggest threat to their safety is Putin’s war. Russia has killed hundreds of Ukrainian children and forcibly deported dozens of thousands.
We cannot give up our support. Children in Ukraine deserve a better tomorrow.
Russia is still not interested in peace - it only understands pressure and strength.
The 18th EU sanctions package must be adopted without delay and hit where it hurts the most.
Ukraine has the right to choose its future and Alliances. Russia has no say in this.
Thank you, @cnbc.com, for this timely chat on Europe’s security and competitiveness.
Investing in defence means free and wealthy Europe. It's that simple.
Estonia is showing the way. Next four years, our defence expenditure will be over 5% of our GDP.

Happy Constitution Day, dear Jonas Gahr Støre and everyone celebrating in Norway. 🇪🇪🤝🇳🇴
Norway and Estonia are close friends, allies and partners. We truly value our close cooperation in many areas as we build a stronger and safer region.
Visited the grand military exercise #HedgeHog2025. 🇪🇪
Over 16,000 soldiers are participating this year, of whom 5000 are from 14 Allied countries. Thankful to every single one of you.
Estonia’s defence is in safe hands. #WeAreNATO
The NB8 stands with Ukraine on the path to just and lasting peace.
We call Russia to accept the unconditional, immediate ceasefire for 30 days. Only this can pave the way for negotiations.
If Putin decides to continue the killings, our response will be resolute.
Glad to further strengthen the JEF through enhanced partnership with Ukraine.
Working together on military exercises, but also learning from each other about modern warfare and new technology is beneficial for both of us.
We believe in Ukraine – our support remains unshakable. #JEFTogether
Today, we celebrate #EuropeDay - 75 years since European integration began. 🇪🇺
Estonia has been in the EU for over two decades, building and shaping its future with partners.
And the journey continues. Looking forward to soon welcoming new members into the European family.
Congratulations, Friedrich Merz, on your appointment as Bundeskanzler of Germany.
A strong and prosperous Germany strengthens all of Europe. Looking forward to working with you. 🇪🇪🤝🇩🇪
Thank you, Olaf Scholz, for your leadership and personal contribution to our bilateral ties.
Thank you, Mark Minevich from @forbes.com, for the interview on how the AI can help to reduce bureaucracy and boost efficiency.
Estonia’s digital success and close gov–private sector cooperation could become a roadmap for others. 🇪🇪

Happy Constitution Day, dear @donald-tusk.bsky.social and all our Polish friends celebrating freedom and democracy today.
As close allies, Estonia and Poland stand committed to regional security and competitiveness. May this day even deepen the bonds of our friendship.

Estonia is ready to back Ukraine’s deterrence force with up to a company-sized unit, instructors, and staff officers, once it's formed.
While NATO membership is the best security guarantee, the coalition of the willing must be ready to act.
Ukraine's security is our security.
On average, Estonia will allocate 5.4% of our GDP to defence until 2029. 💪

Estonia stands firm with our Allies, working side-by-side to ensure global security.
Today, I met Estonian soldiers who recently served in Iraq, NATO, EU & UN operations from Mozambique to the Middle East.
Your dedication makes us proud. Aitäh teile! 🇪🇪

Stay informed, stay strong—a key takeaway from the Estonian Internal Security Service's annual review.
As Russia tries to destabilize Europe and undermine our support to Ukraine, unity and public awareness remain our best defence against such threats.

Let’s be clear. Russia’s goal is erasing Ukraine.
Yet another brutal attack against innocent civilians proves it.
Our aid to Ukraine cannot be delayed at the most crucial moment. No pressure on Russia means no peace.
Early this morning, the Estonian Navy detained a sanctioned vessel with no flag state. Our authorities are currently on board, inspecting its legal status and safety.
Estonia takes suspicious activities in the Baltic Sea very seriously.

Always a pleasure to meet a close friend. Witamy w Tallinnie, Andrzej Duda.
Discussed our excellent cooperation in security, energy and supporting Ukraine. Poland is a reliable ally and our window to Europe.
Looking forward to taking train to Warsaw via Rail Baltic by 2030.
There are over 3,000 men and women in Estonia who have defended freedom and democracy across the world, side-by-side with our Allies.
Every April, we wear the blue hepatica to honor and support these veterans and their loved ones. 💙
