Talks about concessions to Russia are fraught with disaster for all

All demands for an end to the war in Ukraine should be addressed only to Russia, and any talk of Moscow's misdeeds is dangerous, Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsakhkna said.

Details: Mr. Tsakhkna noted that calls for peace are becoming more and more frequent.

Direct speech of the Estonian minister: “This is a dangerous trend that indicates that the West's self-confidence has been shaken. Our hesitations or even the slightest hints of concessions only encourage Russia to continue its aggressive course.”

He recalled the example of the Munich Agreement with concessions to the aggressor, which only postponed the world war. He emphasized that the world is now experiencing “a moment that is in many ways similar to 1938,” but noted that it is still possible to avoid the mistakes of that time.

“The Munich decisions of 1938 should be a lesson and a warning reminder that concessions to the aggressor and Chamberlain's desire for peace at any cost will not ensure lasting peace. Attempts to buy stability by feeding the freedom of other countries to the aggressor are doomed to end in disaster for everyone, as the aggressor's appetite will only grow,” Tsakhkna said.
