It's always worth going outside the Beltway. Many good meetings in Cleveland today, incl at Sen J.D. Vance NE District office & interview with Russ Mitchell.
Prosperous US needs secure Europe, it's urgent to step up against agressor and stand together for freedom and our way of life.

Can mighty Twitter/X/Los Angeles Dodgers/MLB somehow help little kid from Estonia 🇪🇪 - a country with almost no baseball - to make his great dream to come true??

➡️Europe is not by itself a more peaceful place; countries needed to lose its imperial wars.
➡️ruzzia is not special or mythical, it needs to lose its imperial war.
➡️ruzzia losing wars has led to some reform
➡️thinking 'what we can do to make 🇷🇺normal' does not work

We are encouraged by the overwhelming and bipartisan support for the Ukraine Aid Bill at the US🇺🇸 Senate.

Estonia🇪🇪 has committed to continuing the support to Ukraine. With substantial assistance from both sides of the Atlantic, Ukraine🇺🇦 will prevail.

#StandWithUkraine

Ahead of a visit to Cleveland I wrote an op-ed in The Plain Dealer on power of freedom, value of partners + why and how we should help Ukraine to achieve victory.
With 0.25% of GDP to arm 🇺🇦 we can send the message: by every day russia continues this war they will only lose more.

The war is just a bike ride away. To illustrate that I am riding my bike from Tallinn🇪🇪 to Kyiv🇺🇦. My objective is to gather donations for UA army. We must not forget that a full scale war is ongoing in our neighborhood.

Day in a nutshell: Ukraine’s victory is loading, Washington Nationals achieved a comeback win.
Celebrated the U.S. House’s overwhelming support to 🇺🇦🇮🇱 & IndoPac supplementals by witnessing Washington Nationals inspiring rematch of #WorldSeries 2019 against the @Astros.

Joint letter by the Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian Parliament Speakers to Speaker Mike Johnson:

We are 100% behind our Baltic members and friends as they express support for Speaker Mike Johnson ahead of a critical vote for more U.S. aid to #Ukraine .

Taxes do not need to be complicated to work well both for taxpayers & government ➡️ Estonia🇪🇪

Insightful discussion today at the Emb of Estonia. Thank you to Stan Veuger, Daniel Bunn, EE FinMin Mart Võrklaev, EE Gov. of Central Bank Madis Müller, @normaloayza & Dario Tortarolo

US Congress can change the course of history. Speaker Mike Johnson has clearly expressed what's the right thing to do.

🇺🇸 aid package to #Ukraine at this critical time can lay a path to 🇺🇦's victory. This will strengthen the collective security of the whole Euro-Atlantic area.

One way or another these 👇Speaker Mike Johnson’s words will go down to history.
There are moments in time when we all think whether we can tell our grandkids that we did the right thing, that we did everything we could, even if it was difficult and unpopular.
Thank you Mr.Speaker!

Beyond EPIC

Ärme testi ja stressa oma lapsi ilma asjata ribadeks.

Today, after this massive attack of #Iran against #Israel , I can just repeat what I said, on Jan 10, in the #US Congress. Please vote for the Israel AND #Ukraine package aid. Same border. Same fight for freedom. And no time to lose. Urgent for House to act NOW.

I deplore in the strongest possible terms Iran’s unjustified attack against Israel. This is a serious escalation putting more lives at risk. The top priority should be stopping any further escalation in the region.

The attack on 🇮🇱 tonight was of a magnitude that 🇺🇦 suffers on a fairly regular basis. Same drones. Similar missiles. Week after week. Month after month.

“We know why it is important to have Ukraine, and we know what that means to resist occupation. And we want to give also the message that small country can fight with the big one, if there are supporters”

The safety & security of diplomatic premises is a fundamental principle guiding diplomatic relations. Estonia therefore aligns itself with the statement by Josep Borrell Fontelles & condemns the violation of the premises of the Mexican Embassy in Quito.
