Quote: "Being a representative of a generation that has not had freedom since the beginning, I understand very well that freedom must be fought for. That is why we are so active in helping Ukraine win," Kallas said.
According to her, Ukraine has proved to the world that it is able to win the war, "if the transatlantic family stands side by side with it."
The Estonian Prime Minister declared the need to create Europe without grey areas, and this requires a geopolitical European Union and a strong and trustworthy NATO.
"To ensure peace in Europe, we need Ukraine to become a member of the European Union and NATO," Kallas said.
