Minister @Tsahkna:
Europe will not be intimidated.
Expose the threats. Raise the costs. Strengthen our resilience. Stand firmly with Ukraine.🇺🇦🇪🇪
As Russia struggles on the battlefield, it is increasingly turning to sabotage and intimidation to divide Ukraine’s allies and sow fear across Europe.
Our response must be clear: expose Russia’s actions, raise the cost, strengthen our resilience, and stand unwaveringly with Ukraine.
Putin must understand that time is not on his side.
I joined @Telegraph's Ukraine: The Latest to discuss our unchanged security assessment and the importance of keeping Russia isolated while simultaneously increasing support for Ukraine.
