Estonia's defense 'starts from Ukraine', says PM

Tallinn, Estonia: Estonia's defense 'starts from Ukraine,' the Baltic state's Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said Thursday (Friday in Manila) in an interview with Agence France-Presse (AFP) on the eve of the anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

'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,' Kallas told AFP in English.
