Estonia's Prime Minister, Kaja Kallas, announced, during an interview for AFP, on Thursday, that the country's defense "starts from Ukraine."

Kallas told AFP that "we see clearly that our defense right now starts also from Ukraine because Ukraine is fighting with the same threat... So as long as they are fighting there, they are weakening the same enemy as we have."

According to Kallas, given the country's security concerns, it is imperative to "totally discredit the tool of aggression."

The PM argued, "If this aggression pays off in Ukraine, then it serves as an invitation to use it elsewhere," adding, "Because if it is so that you... go attack another country, another sovereign country, and then you walk away with more territories, more land, more natural resources, then the signal to... all the aggressors, or would-be aggressors, in the world, is that this pays off, use it."
