The Riigikogu (Parliament of Estonia) adopted a Statement to confirm Estonia’s unwavering support to the victory of Ukraine in Russia’s war of aggression ... It says that Ukraine’s victory and strategic defeat of Russia are necessary preconditions for ensuring a lasting and fair peace and security in Europe.

The Riigikogu calls on the allies and partners to prioritise the delivery of air defence systems and missiles to Ukraine in the conditions of the approaching winter and Russia’s increasing terror in the sky, and emphasises that Ukraine’s defence industry basis needs to be supported and the economic capability of the country ensured through long-term financial aid.

In the Statement, countries are called to ensure the critical stocks for Ukraine for the coming winter. The Statement also supports increasing economic pressure against Russia, more efficient application of sanctions, and the prosecution of violators.

...

In the Statement, the Riigikogu reaffirms its support for Ukraine’s accession to NATO and the European Union, also highlighting political unity, democracy, rule of law, human rights, and the continuation of the necessary reforms in the country.

...

The Riigikogu calls for the completion of the establishment of the special international tribunal for the crime of aggression and compensation mechanisms for aggression, and underlines that a lasting peace in Europe cannot be born out of rewarding the aggression or restoring the spheres of influence. “A fair and lasting peace requires the preservation of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity as well as reliable security guarantees that prevent any new aggressions from the part of the Russian Federation,” the Statement says.

to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and

to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and

to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and

to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

AND FOR THESE ENDS

to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and

to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and

to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples,

Defeat, because Russia does everything in their power... to undermine all this. And everywhere they go. Not because we don't like them or because of what they perhaps see as 'incidents'.
