The year comes to an end once again here in Europe, and a new one dawns. What can we wish for at this moment? Victory for freedom over tyranny wherever the fight against darkness continues!

We’re excited to announce that @markomihkelson.bsky.social — Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the Estonian Parliament and a senior member of the Reform Party — will also be speaking at the EU–NZ Business Summit 🇪🇺🇳🇿 #EUNZTrade #StrongerTogether

Estonia 🇪🇪 will never surrender. A tenth of the population sang yesterday in Tallinn about love for the homeland. The Song Festival tradition has lived on since 1869.

The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service claimed that Ukraine,together with the UK,is preparing "sophisticated provocations" in the Baltic Sea ❗️Russia openly states that it is afraid of Ukrainian attacks in the Baltic Sea Just think:from "Kyiv in3 days" in 2022 to ⤵️

The only peace strategy in Ukraine 🇺🇦 is a VICTORY strategy. The Western consensus must shift from the dead-end stance of "Ukraine must not lose and Russia must not win" to a clear victory strategy: "Ukraine wins, Russia loses." Simple, clear, and a guarantee for a just peace.

We are not moving in the right direction. Keeping Europe and the US united is important, but playing Putin’s game will not bring the peace that Ukraine—and all of us—need. Europe and the US must step up NOW and apply real pressure on Russia. An aggressor should not be allowed to demand anything!

Estonia 🇪🇪 is ready to contribute a company-sized unit to the deterrence force of the coalition of the willing, led by the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 and France 🇫🇷, which provides security guarantees to Ukraine 🇺🇦.

This cartoon published yesterday on the website of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) says more than a thousand words. Russia's long-standing strategic goal is to destroy Western collective defense in the form of NATO, entice the USA to leave Europe, and then Finlandize Europe.

How many more innocennt lives must be lost?

This Baltic scenario by @carlomasala1.bsky.social is worth discussing beyond the German-speaking audience. Especially in light of the mistaken presumptions about Ukraine’s and Russia’s respective capabilities pre-2022 and the policy mistakes that resulted, it’s important to get our premises right

Estonia 🇪🇪 will never recognize the territories illegally annexed by Russia.

Never mind - @markomihkelson.bsky.social laid it out very clearly in an interview right before I was on! So we tag-teamed it, @ilvestoomas.bsky.social.

Today might go down in history as a dark day for Europe. It now depends on European leaders to finally recognize that we must take our fate into our own hands - right now.

105 years ago today, by signing the Tartu Peace Treaty, Russia declared that it would respect the sovereignty of Estonia forever. 20 years later, Russia occupied Estonia. If anyone believes that Russia is ready to honor treaties in Ukraine or elsewhere today, then prepare for a great war.

Looming trade wars between allies amid a major war in Europe serve only to benefit our common enemies

The Estonian Parliament adopted a Statement in support of the people of Georgia

Chilling, but desperately needed wake-up call by @markomihkelson.bsky.social. Please read the whole article!

Marko Mihkelson is a historian by training and serves as the chief of the Foreign Affairs Committee in 🇪🇪 parliament. He predicted the russia-Ukraine war already in 2007 if not earlier. Here's what he's saying now.

Russia's defeat in its self-initiated war of aggression is the surest path to preventing World War III.

Both the outgoing Biden and the newly inaugurated Trump have been consistent in their statements: the United States does not want a Third World War. But what has been done to achieve this? As of now, almost nothing. What is needed is the determination of Winston Churchill in defeating evil.

It seems we are heading towards a Munich 2.0 scenario, which would undermine U.S. credibility as the global leader of democracies. However, it is not too late to make a U-turn.

It often saddens me to realize how little today's leaders of the free world rely on historical knowledge. At times, it seems as though history began with the most recent elections.

Those who refuse to fight will lose without any hope of victory. 🇬🇪🇺🇦🇪🇺

Salome Zourabichvili remains the legitimate President of Georgia 🇬🇪! This is a test for all politicians defending the core democratic values of Europe. 🇬🇪🇪🇺

3 years ago, today (series) - 16 Dec 2021 - 70 days before russia's full scale invasion 🇷🇺 is not only concerned with 🇺🇦 but wants to achieve full veto power in the entire European security space. They want to destroy NATO, in essence, says @markomihkelson.bsky.social news.err.ee/1608438218/f...

The collapse of the Assad regime in Syria could become the first major military defeat for Russian imperialism. This may also have an impact on the war in Europe. The example of Syria makes it clear that Russia can be defeated in its aggression.

Every day matters. The free people of Georgia 🇬🇪 are waiting for support from Western countries. The best course of action is to impose sanctions on the Russian oligarch Ivanishvili and his puppet government in Georgia, and to push for the organization of new and free elections.

Mihkelson kutsus USAd toetama Ukraina võiduplaani - Riigikogu www.riigikogu.ee/pressiteated...

FAC of the Estonian 🇪🇪 Parliament made a statement today in support of the Georgian 🇬🇪 people, calling on the European Union to take action by imposing sanctions against the self-proclaimed rulers of Georgia. The only viable solution to Georgia's current constitutional crisis is the new elections.

I read this in Russian news (tells you everything you need to know) and checked to see if it was true. Apparently Elon is eyeing destroying Britain after his U.S. operation www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Georgia's self-proclaimed government is attempting to subvert the people's revolution through targeted terror. Critical days lie ahead for Georgia 🇬🇪. The EU 🇪🇺 must not stand aside but take action with robust sanctions.

Georgian people are the hope for all of us. Russian imperialism must be defeated!

The freedom-loving people of Georgia 🇬🇪 showed last night in Tbilisi and several other cities that they are not willing to surrender their country to Russia and a self-proclaimed dictatorial regime. 🇪🇺 must demonstrate through its support and actions that democracy and freedom are worth defending.

A day of good discussions in Helsinki with leading security policy-makers and experts incl. President Stubb. Finland and Estonia take good care of their security and relations with allies, and do what they can to support Ukraine. Big thanks @sakkov.bsky.social @markomihkelson.bsky.social & EVN

Estonia 🇪🇪 and the USA 🇺🇸 are committed allies. Our adversaries should not trouble themselves with the hope that Europe and America can be driven apart. An excellent meeting between the Estonian and US delegations in Montreal today.

Keep eye on Georgia!

Ukraine's former commander-in-chief believes Europe not ready for long war with Russia www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/202...

I highly recommend reading the book Democracy and War by Germany's leading foreign policy expert, Norbert Röttgen. Germany has the opportunity, after the upcoming elections, to initiate a true Zeitenwende and assume a leadership role in shaping Europe's destiny.

Simple as that 🇺🇦

Can we learn from history?

History has taught us that genocide cannot be stopped with phone calls.
