President Karis emphasized that for the security of Ukraine and all of Europe, it is essential that the war ends with a just and lasting peace. “In addition to further military aid, it is also necessary to increase defence spending and preparedness across Europe.”
The Estonian head of state also welcomed the discussions on security guarantees for Ukraine led by the United Kingdom and France. “Ukraine’s security is primarily a matter of European security, and European countries must be the main contributors to these potential guarantees. However, the support from the United States is also necessary,” President Karis stated.
President Karis confirmed that Estonia is ready to discuss security guarantees. “However, these guarantees must be credible and deterrent,” he added.
