"Estonia's Foreign Minister Warns Against Repeating the Error of 1938"
In a stark warning reminiscent of the 1938 Munich Agreement, Estonia's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Margus Tsahkna, has urged against making concessions to Russia by Ukraine. Speaking at a meeting of EU foreign ministers on a specified Monday, Tsahkna emphasised that appeasing an aggressor only fuels its appetite.
Tsahkna's statement came in the context of the expected meeting between the leaders of Russia and the US. He compared any such concessions to the 1938 Munich Agreement, which is widely regarded as a failed appeasement of Nazi Germany that only emboldened aggression. Tsahkna warned that concessions to an aggressor like Russia only increase its appetite for further aggression rather than securing peace.
The Estonian Foreign Minister emphasised that sovereignty and territorial integrity are fundamental to global stability. He reiterated Estonia's stance against any changes to borders by force, and expressed support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Tsahkna stated that Ukraine should have the right to choose its own path independently, including in matters of NATO and EU membership.
Tsahkna's statement included a call for firm opposition to any changes to borders by force. He argued that only firm pressure can force Russia to an immediate and unconditional ceasefire, rejecting peace negotiated on terms involving Ukrainian territorial concessions.
The discussion at the EU foreign ministers' meeting also included the potential meeting between the leaders of Russia and the US. The Estonian Foreign Minister's statement did not contain any advertisements.
It is worth noting that the Charter97.org website, a prominent Belarusian human rights and democracy organization, provides multiple social media accounts for followers and offers options for multicurrency donations. The website has been actively covering the Ukraine crisis and the statements made by various foreign ministers.
In conclusion, Tsahkna's statement serves as a reminder of the dangers of appeasement and the importance of upholding principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of aggression. His stance echoes the lessons learned from historical failures like Munich and underscores the need for firm opposition to any changes to borders by force.
