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.

My heartfelt condolences on the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham.
Estonia will remember him as a steadfast friend, a strong supporter of NATO's eastern flank, and an unwavering advocate for Ukraine. My thoughts are with his family, friends, colleagues, and the American people.

Estonian Foreign Intelligence Service (EFIS) published today its annual report „International Security and Estonia 2026“.
In our assessment, Russia has no intention of militarily attacking Estonia or any other NATO member state in the coming year.
We are likely to reach a similar assessment next year because Estonia and Europe have taken steps that compel the Kremlin to calculate very carefully what, if anything, it can risk attempting. Even if no such intention exists today, our task is to ensure that this remains the case tomorrow and in the future.

It’s that time of year again, when the western intelligence community gets its hands on the annual report from the Estonian Foreign Intelligence Service.

Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych wore a helmet with images of people killed in the war in his home country during a Winter Olympics training session in Cortina.
Heraskevych had promised before the Games to use the event as a platform to keep attention on the conflict.
"Some of them were my friends," said Heraskevych, who was Ukraine's flagbearer in the opening ceremony.
He told Reuters that many of those pictured on his helmet were athletes including teenage weightlifter Alina Peregudova, boxer Pavlo Ishchenko and ice hockey player Oleksiy Loginov.
The 26-year-old said the International Olympic Committee (IOC) had contacted Ukraine's Olympic Committee over the helmet.

Congrats to Estonians on their long & hard journey to independence & freedom. Estonia today is one of the freest w/one of the most competitive tax codes in the world. It also punches way above its weight in NATO. Estonians know firsthand the terrors of Russian domination.
🇪🇪 Today 106 years ago #Estonia secured its independence in the War of Independence. The Tartu Peace Treaty confirmed our sovereignty and borders. Freedom was defended then, and it is defended now.

When the United States was attacked on 9/11, we answered the call — with boots on the ground, no caveats, on the front lines.
Estonia’s per-capita losses in Afghanistan were among the highest of all allies.
Belittling our soldiers’ sacrifices is insulting.

🇪🇪 Estonia stands for peace through strength. This year we're investing more than 5% of GDP in defence. #WeAreNATO

106 years ago today, an armistice in Estonia’s War of Independence entered into force, paving the way to the peace treaty signed in early February.
Peace was not given. It was won—by convincing Moscow that its military approach had no prospect of success. Only then did it agree to negotiate.
