Comment by Foreign Minister Tsahkna on the UN Secretary-General's letter to Lavrov
In light of the letter by the Secretary-General of the UN, it is very important to stress that Russia alone is responsible for the war against Ukraine. Russia is continuing its attacks against Ukraine's civilian infrastructure, harming civilians and damaging residential buildings, and carrying out illegitimate local elections in the occupied territories of Ukraine. Estonia is strongly and unanimously supporting the call by President Zelensky to ramp up sanctions against Russia.
During the high-level opening week of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly in mid-September, Estonia's main objective is to keep the spotlight on Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and call for stronger support to Ukraine. This week offers a chance to raise issues Estonia considers important.
Estonia's message is clear: making concessions to an aggressor only expands the aggression instead of ending it.
