Estonia has stated that it is better prepared for Russian aggression than NATO
Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur stated that his country is better prepared for potential Russian aggression than NATO as a whole.
This was reported by POLITICO.
According to the minister, this readiness is ensured by the draft system, reserve forces that can be rapidly deployed, regular military exercises, and the presence of NATO allied troops on Estonian territory.
Pevkur also reacted calmly to the possible reduction of the U.S. military presence in Europe, noting that U.S. President Donald Trump had spoken about this even after his election.
In addition, the Estonian minister assured that Tallinn continues to trust the United States as an ally.
A Romanian fighter jet participating in a NATO air patrol mission shot down a stray attack drone over Estonian territory.
Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna, commenting on the incident involving the downing of the drone over the country’s territory, stated that this is a consequence of Russia’s war and provocations. He also emphasized that Ukraine has every right to strike Russian military targets.
The responsibility for Ukrainian drones entering the airspace of the Baltic states lies entirely with the Russian Federation, which deliberately directs them into Alliance territory using electronic warfare capabilities. This was stated by Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna before the start of the meeting of NATO foreign ministers, reports Censor.NET, citing “European Truth.”
