“But the top priority for all of us is to ensure that the war against Ukraine is not a strategic victory for Russia,” President Karis cautioned. “No concessions can be made to the Russians that come at the cost of Ukraine’s sovereignty, security or territorial integrity.

Ambassador Klein is resident in Tallinn.
