Russia already poses an immediate threat to all of Europe, and helping Ukraine is an investment in the continent's collective security, not a charitable act. This is stated by Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna on the social network X, summarizing a three-day visit to Ukraine.
The diplomat spoke about his impressions from being in a country where air raid alerts are constantly sounding.
- I spent three days in Ukraine with air raid sirens sounding day and night. Three days observing how Ukrainians across the country live their lives in order to endure Russian attacks while shopping, stopping at gas stations, or sleeping in their own beds... Every time I finish a visit to Ukraine and cross the border into Poland, my heart aches. On one side of the border, people live under the constant threat of Russian missiles and drones. You cross it — and suddenly there are no sirens, life again seems normal, — Tsahkna noted.
The head of the Estonian Foreign Ministry added that the Russian strike near the Yagodin crossing, which members of his delegation crossed not long before the shelling, is further confirmation that Russian terror has moved directly to the borders of the EU and NATO.
- Today Russia carried out an attack near this border, near Yagodyn, bringing its terror right to the threshold of the EU and NATO... We witnessed sabotage and cyberattacks across Europe. We saw Russia ready to plant explosives in European logistics chains, recklessly endangering the lives of innocent people. Russia is already a threat to all of Europe. Ukraine defends itself daily. Supporting Ukraine in defense is not charity and is not someone else's war; it is an investment in the security of Europe as a whole, the diplomat emphasized.
In the minister's view, the only appropriate response from European partners should be an urgent strengthening of Ukraine's air defense, providing capabilities for long-range strikes on Russia's territory, and tightening sanctions to cut off Moscow's revenue for waging war.
13 in September, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha confirmed strikes near Yagodyn and urged the world not to delay and to stop Russia before it is too late. He also urged allies to apply full force of sanctions against the aggressive regime of dictator Vladimir Putin.
