Estonia’s prime minister said that support for Ukraine in the months ahead will shape the future of the European Union as he urged his colleagues to do more to protect Kyiv and themselves.
Kristen Michal said in an interview with Bloomberg Television that allowing Russia to change Ukraine’s borders by force would undermine European values. He appealed to his EU partners to boost defense spending in order to meet the threat from the Kremlin and demonstrate to Donald Trump that Europe is serious about security.
