During the Munich Security Conference, Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna highlighted the significant levers that Europe has to strengthen its security and support Ukraine. He aligned himself with opinions expressed by various leaders, including German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, arguing that dialogue with the Kremlin will not lead to peace, but rather it is crucial to economically and militarily weaken Russia. This perspective emphasizes a proactive stance on European security that resists initiatives seen as appeasement.

Tsahkna also echoed sentiments from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, remarking that President Putin's objectives remain unchanged. He stressed the importance of European countries' current capacity to aid Ukraine through NATO initiatives aimed at providing essential military supplies. Such support is positioned as a vital component of both immediate and long-term security strategies in the face of ongoing aggression.

Additionally, Tsahkna recognized statements by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, advocating for a united front between the U.S. and Europe as strong allies. He underscored that Europe's enhancement of its defense capabilities is only one facet of demonstrating strength, suggesting that cohesive action and solidarity among Western nations are critical for addressing current security challenges effectively.
