Estonian President Alar Karis said Tuesday that Europe must be prepared for all possible scenarios in the Ukraine war, stressing the need for the continent to take an active role in discussions on its own security.
Speaking during a state visit to Finland at a joint press conference with Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Karis said: “Europe must be ready for every development” in the Ukraine peace process.
He underlined that Europe should be present in all negotiations related to its security and participate from a position of strength to help achieve a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.
Karis said there has been no substantive progress in peace efforts aimed at ending Russia’s war in Ukraine, adding that the situation continues to require close attention from European countries.
He emphasized that the conflict remains central to Europe’s overall security environment and warned that support for Ukraine should remain firm despite other global developments.
The Estonian president also highlighted the importance of strengthening regional cooperation in security and defense, particularly among Nordic and Baltic countries.
He said Estonia and Finland share a common security environment and operate within a closely connected strategic space, underlining the need for continued coordination between the two countries and the wider region.
