Ukraine's NATO membership is 'our duty', Estonian PM Kallas says
The Prime Minister of Estonia has called on NATO allies to commit to paving the way for Ukraine's membership. Kayakalas met with Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at NATO's headquarters in Brussels, during which they both affirmed their support for Ukraine. Our duty is to continue the process with Ukraine NATO membership. We must demonstrate through our words and actions. That Ukraine's path to NATO is irreversible. Since Russia launched its full scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Callas has been a driving force in EU efforts to punish Russia with sanctions, send military support to Ukraine, and bolster the bloc's own defense capabilities. She is one of Europe's most outspoken Russia critics and is now tipped to become the E US High Representative. During the press conference, Jens Stoltenberg also took the opportunity to express his joy at the appointment of Mark Router as NATO's next Secretary General. He knows NATO very well and. He's very skilled and experienced consensus builder, which is perhaps the most important. Task of any NATO sector general is to build consensus among 32 allies. ROUTER has also supported Ukraine and its right to defend itself since the Russian invasion and claims it was one of the reasons he sought the top NATO job. Thank you so much.
