During this morning’s attacks against targets in Russia, a few drones briefly entered Estonian airspace.
Let us be absolutely clear: Estonia has never authorised any state to fly drones in our airspace.
NATO air defence responded swiftly an we have informed the Allies.
It is important to reiterate that drones entering Baltic airspace are a direct consequence of Russia’s full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine.

Our prosperity depends on innovation, entrepreneurship & digital tech opportunities.
Ireland's commitment to cooperation in digital services, responsible AI adoption, innovation policy & public sector reform were key messages of Minister Niamh Smyth at the Tallinn Digital Summit

Ahead of #TDS2026, Foreign Minister @Tsahkna shares Estonia’s perspective on digital resilience, lessons from Ukraine and AI governance in an opinion piece for @NewsUkraineRBC . 🇪🇪🇺🇦
Russia's war against Ukraine has shown that digital resilience is a matter of national survival – a lesson I highlight in my opinion piece for @NewsUkraineRBC ahead of @TallinnSummit.
Ukraine shows what resilience means: keeping essential services running even under attack. Cyber defence is an ecosystem in which governments, businesses and international partners must work together.
At #TDS2026, we must turn these lessons into action.

Vist to An Crompand and @ComhairleNaNog1 showed the importance of vision. It was very inspiring to hear young people talk about societal perceptions and future.

From 🇪🇪 perspective: of course every community should have a sauna!
As @rte points out with the example of "Smoke Sauna Sisterhood" by Anna Hints, a sauna is also a place for social gathering. #saun

All as planned.
Preparations for #URC2027 are in full swing.
Preparations for the Ukraine Recovery Conference #URC2027 in Tallinn next January are well underway.
The Ukrainian side has confirmed that the President of Ukraine has signed the invitations to world leaders. Estonia and Ukraine are working closely together to bring international partners to Tallinn.
Our goal is to turn shared commitments into practical deliverables and ensure Ukraine receives urgent support as it faces another harsh winter.
Maritime Security Conference discussing protection of critical infrastructure, facing cyber threats and cooperation. Both 🇮🇪 and 🇪🇪 are maritime countries, thus facing similar opportunities and challenges 🌊 #Ireland2026EU

Russia has shown no sign of abandoning its strategic objectives.
Only stronger pressure, tighter sanctions and unwavering support for Ukraine will bring Russia to serious peace negotiations, says Foreign Minister @Tsahkna.
Only increased pressure on Russia will make it take peace negotiations seriously.
Every contact with Russia must convey Europe’s unity and determination to support Ukraine and maintain pressure on Russia, while making clear that Europe will not negotiate away the fundamental principles underpinning its security.
Ukraine wants peace, and Estonia supports all efforts to achieve it. But there is no indication that Russia has changed its strategic objectives or is genuinely interested in negotiations.
Russia’s goal is not merely to seize parts of Ukraine, but to subjugate the entire country and undermine Europe’s security order, founded on NATO and the EU.
A just and lasting peace requires increased pressure on Russia, tighter sanctions, action against sanctions evasion, Russia’s international isolation and unwavering support for Ukraine.
We must show Russia through concrete action that, as long as its war continues, pressure will remain strong and Ukraine’s supporters will not abandon it.
Second day of meetings in Brussels: with colleagues @NATO HQ for briefs on defense and allied cooperation. #StrongerTogether

Today in Brussels for meetings with colleagues and discussions on subjects currently on everyone's mind: Ukraine, MFF, future of Europe
Our autumn tradition continues! We welcomed Estonia’s ambassadors to EU and @NATO countries, alongside colleagues from Tallinn, to Brussels.
Kyllike Sillaste-Elling, Katrin Juhandi and Julika Luts set the scene with perspectives from Coreper II, Coreper I and the PSC on the EU’s priorities and the negotiations ahead.
We discussed the next EU budget, sustained support for Ukraine, continued pressure on Russia and opening all accession clusters with Ukraine and Moldova.
Competitiveness and the single market also featured, alongside Arctic security and the EU’s security strategy.
