Estonia And Lithuania Have A Very Similar Understanding Of The Challenges Related To European Security, And We Also Know That By Acting Together We Are Stronger And More Likely To Achieve Our Goals, Said Tsahkna, Characterizing The Relations Between The Two Countries. Speaking About Security, Tsahkna Expressed His Satisfaction That Nato Is Increasing Its Presence In The Baltic Sea In Light Of The Recent Damage To Underwater Infrastructure. This Proves That Nato Allies Take The Protection Of Infrastructure And Deterrence Of Attacks Extremely Seriously, Said The Foreign Minister, Adding That The Increasingly Serious Security Challenges Once Again Confirm The Need To Invest More In Defence.
The Meeting Also Discussed In Detail Further Support For Ukraine In A Situation Where Russia Has Not Given Up Its Goal Of Destroying Ukraine And Dismantling The Current Security Architecture Of The Euro-Atlantic Region. Russia Is Not Showing In Any Way That It Wants To Achieve Peace, But Is Continuing Its Efforts To Destroy Ukraine, Tsakhna Said. UkraineS Supporters Must Not Show The Slightest Sign Of Weakness, But Must Resolutely Continue Everything That Has Been Done So Far, But Even More Vigorously And Faster. This Means Supporting Ukraine Militarily And Strengthening Its Air Defense. At The Same Time, Pressure On Russia Must Continue Through Tightening Sanctions And Deterring Its Shadow Fleet, The Foreign Minister Emphasized.
