Estonian formin to Ukrainian counterpart: Just peace is achieved from position of strength

TALLINN - Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna had a telephone conversation with his Ukrainian colleague Andrii Sybiha on Thursday, during which he underlined Estonia’s unwavering support to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

"Estonia’s support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity is unwavering," Tsahkna said in the phone call.

He emphasized that a just and lasting peace can only by achieved from a position of strength and when Ukraine has credible and working security guarantees.

"Ukraine’s right to choose alliances is non-negotiable. Ukraine’s future is in NATO," the minister said.
