According to Reporters Without Borders ( @rsf.org ) my beloved Estonia 🇪🇪 ranks second in the the world in media freedom. Media freedom is one of a principal foundations of democracy. rsf.org/en/index

OTD in 1945 the Battle of Seelow Heights began. The Red Army, getting 30% of its supplies thru US lend lease, crossed into the invader's territory for the first time. A "dangerous escalation" of the war.

I walked this morning together with 🇺🇦 Ambassador to 🇫🇮 Olga Dibrova. You can also #Walk4Ukraine . Wear 🇺🇦 colours, walk, share, donate. #SlavaUkraini #StandWithUkraine Donate here: u24.gov.ua

Vessel lacks a flag state, meaning it is not permitted to sail on the open seas. news.err.ee/1609662026/e...

Meanwhile in Russia: head of RT Margarita Simonyan says that Russia is defeating the United States every single day. She mocks Donald Trump and JD Vance for pathetically cosplaying Putin, with their plans to annex Greenland based on a future referendum. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgKE...

OTD 76 years ago 90 thousand Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians, including toddlers, were deported to cold and misery of Siberia. Many did not return. That was 5 years after the end of WW2. This is what 🇷🇺 “peace” means under 🇷🇺 occupation en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operati...

“We have learned that if we fight the Russians, we die in thousands. If we give in to the Russians, we die in millions.” cepa.org/article/symp...

Zaporizhzhia, the downtown of a European city of one million after a visit by russian culture tonight. at least one civilian is murdered, many are injured, including kids. russians are obsessed with murdering Ukrainians at night in their beds

This is a difficult time for my trolls. They've spent 1119 days saying Ukraine should accept unconditional ceasefire. Now they have, we violated it anyway.

‘Efforts by Elon Musk and his team to permanently shutter the U.S. Agency for International Development likely violated the Constitution “in multiple ways” … a federal judge found on Tuesday.’ www.nytimes.com/2025/03/18/u...

As a reminder: 🇷🇺 has never joined the convention and is using anti-personnell land-mines against 🇺🇦 all the time. As a front-line country 🇪🇪 is not going to shackle itself. We are going to use everything we have and are able to have in self-defence. kaitseministeerium.ee/en/news/balt...

Try to guess whats happening here!

Today is 🇪🇪 day of a Mother Tongue. 14 grammatical cases, no future tense, rich on vocals, long composite words and tongue-twisters. HEAD EMAKEELEPÄEVA! www.e-resident.gov.ee/blog/posts/1...

Putin's missiles of peace headed to power plants, hospitals and apartment buildings all over Ukraine yesterday morning.

My new book The Folly of Realism is officially released. Three years since the invasion of Ukraine, this book provides clarity on how we got here and a vision of what's next. Here’s the book;  shorturl.at/FjMbQ

What Scholz refused to say for three years, the incoming ruling party CDU says on day 1 after the election: “Ukraine must win the war!”

On the 3rd anniversary of Russia’s brutal invasion, Europe is in Kyiv. We are in Kyiv today, because Ukraine is Europe. In this fight for survival, it is not only the destiny of Ukraine that is at stake. It’s Europe’s destiny.

Today, we celebrate Estonia’s 107th birthday! We fought for our independence and won—just as Ukraine will. Elagu Eesti! #SlavaUkraini! (Photo: Valmar Valdmann)

To strengthen Ukraine's position Estonia is sending 10,000 artillery shells and 750,000 food packages for Ukrainian fighters. At the earliest opportunity, this will be supplemented with our own defence industry products worth over 100 million euros. It is #UpToUkraine to decide its future.

Seems like another undersea cable is broken near Gotland. Cable runs between 🇫🇮 and 🇩🇪. www.hs.fi/suomi/art-20...

Nordic-Balti leaders’ statement:

I heard Lavrov bleating on again. A reminder #Russia's Foreign Secretary loathes the west and its decadence. He sent his daughter Ekaterina to Columbia Uni NY & a postgrad at London School of Economics. Lavrov's girlfriend's daughter, Polina Kovaleva, bought a $6m London flat.

OTD in 2022 "Examples of large-scale disinformation campaign by the Western media, hyping the claim that Russia is planning to invade Ukraine" were debunked by my parody in Sweden. And then we never invaded & all you imperialists were proved wrong. So you can believe us now about negotiating.

What some key words used by the Kremlin actually mean in English: Election = Coup Negotiation = Capitulation Cooperation = Submission Peacekeeping = Occupation For example, "Russia will accept negotiations after Ukraine has an election."

This mysterious russian soul

Desynchronising our energy grid from Russia has begun. We have thoroughly prepared for this. There are sufficient controllable capacity and external connections in the Baltic States to ensure a smooth transition. Tomorrow we will join the Continental European frequency band.

Anachronism of occupation has now been left behind. 🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹 electricity grid was until today synchronised to the Russian grid. Not any more

U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans purchased as food aid.

Article II of the treaty : “….Russia unreservedly recognises the independence and sovereignty of the State of Estonia, and renounces voluntarily and forever all sovereign rights possessed by Russia over the Estonian people and territory…”

Mark Zuckerberg doesn't like people taking his personal data and profiting from it.

A reminder that the only treaty that Russia has ever honoured was the 1939 Molotov-Rippendrop Pact with Nazi Germany

During aerial reconnaissance, Ukrainian Special Operations Forces operators spotted a Russian soldier:he had been wounded a month earlier.The SOF operators offered to surrender The Russian soldier was abandoned by Russian troops without water,food&phone.And even recorded a farewell video 📹SOF_UKR

🇪🇪 donors have delivered the 6th mobile sauna for 🇺🇦 warriors. Front-line soldiers, dirty, muddy and tired, put their clothes into a laundry machine, enjoy sauna and leave it with freshly washed and dried clothes. saunas4ukraine.org#SlavaUkra%C3...

🇸🇪 has boarded and seized the ship suspected of damaging the data cable between 🇸🇪 and 🇱🇻. yle.fi/a/74-20139445

Data cable between Ventspils in 🇱🇻 and Gotland (🇸🇪) seems to be broken www.lsm.lv/raksts/zinas...

New Baltic Sea cable break it seems. This time a Latvian state comms cable from Ventspils to Gotland. If anyone can find more facts such as time of disconnect it would be swell. @eldomador.bsky.social ?

The history of Muscovy can be summed up by a Russian saying: “Snatched it quiet, walked away – that’s called found it.” For the 75th anniversary of the “Soviet victory” in WWII, the northern Russian town of Usinsk put up a giant poster. But featured a Finnish soldier who fought against the USSR.

🇷🇺 armed forces engaging in war crimes and filming it all. Not for the faint-hearted

Interesting to hear Finnish president Alexander Stubb talking to @gideonrachman.bsky.social, reflecting on an earlier Davos panel with Chris Cavoli. “We’re very much in a stalemate. We’re not going to see a Russian breakthrough.” www.ft.com/content/9527...

Message from the PM. 🇪🇪 takes defence seriously. Defence spending as % of GDP is moving from 3.7% (planned for 2026) towards 5%. @kristenmichalpm.bsky.social

Zero points

This is the sixth 🇪🇪 mobile sauna for 🇺🇦 frontline troops. news.err.ee/1609580437/e...

Previously Kremlin has insisted that the “root cause” of the war was NATO enlargement. Go figure

News from the German Ministry of Defence: As of today, they will stop posting on X. Same is true of our official armed forces accounts.

Ukraine under mass missile attack by fascist Russia this morning: Russian 7 Tu-22 and 6 Tu-95 bombers in the air. Cruise missiles launched from warships in Black Sea, MiG-31K warplanes, and ballistic missiles from ground launchers. Enemy targeting Ukrainian hydroelectric plants.

Geography matters. On the correlation between distance to Moscow and defence spending/aid to Ukraine. Great charts by @economist.com Europe could be torn apart by new divisions econ.st/4fQq6iL
