“I am worried” about an atmosphere of appeasement to Russia, says Estonian PM @kajakallas : “Fatigue with the war… is understandable,” but if Ukrainian territory is given away and we continue with “business as usual, then the outcome is we don’t have a peace that is lasting.”
“When we look at how we can cut this historical cycle that Russia will attack its neighbors… accountability is the key,” Estonian PM @kajakallas tells me, arguing for “tribunals to… prosecute the crimes of aggression & the war crimes,” including prosecuting Russian leadership.
Estonian PM @kajakallas has won re-election, and though coalition negotiations are ongoing, they won’t change Estonia's position on Ukraine, she says: “We've already agreed… we should help Ukraine as long as it takes,” militarily and with “accountability and a special tribunal.”
A Washington Post report suggests that Ukraine is short of skilled troops and munitions on the frontlines right now. “That is frustrating and we have heard that as well,” Estonian PM @kajakallas tells me. “The price goes up with every delay” in sending arms to Ukraine, she says.
