The president of Estonia, Alar Karis, has agreed that “probably at the moment” it would be unwise or inflammatory to place Nato troops in Ukraine, but added that Estonia had given the country some military support.
Karis said the situation between Russia and Ukraine was “extremely serious and tensions are very high”, adding that an invasion of Ukraine could have an impact on Europe, too.
Any means of what we are doing now might be helpful, as well as more and more diplomats and politicians from different countries going to Ukraine in political support. So this is also important, not only military support.
I think, from a Russian perspective, everything is inflammatory. They look (at things) in a different way, as we’ve heard from previous discussions. Logic doesn’t work and doesn’t apply when Russia is concerned.
This is prime minister who is not going to meet his own Scottish Conservative leader, even the Scottish Conservatives want Boris Johnson to go.
I hope this is his farewell tour, he is a man who is deeply unpopular up here.
