Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Exclusive: Estonia's Foreign Minister at the United Nations
Q: How should countries find a balance between self-defense and humanitarian roles?
Countries need to be transparent with their taxpayers about how defense spending doesn't come at the expense of humanitarian support, given the pressures of current conflicts.
Exclusive: Estonia's Foreign Minister at the United Nations
Q: Do you think the UN needs to focus more on peace and security or reform its Security Council veto?
Both issues are essential; a non-functional Security Council impacts other UN institutions. There's a pressing need for reform and more efficient funding.
Exclusive: Estonia's Foreign Minister at the United Nations
Q: What can NATO do regarding Ukraine and how adequate has their response been?
The best security guarantee for Ukraine is full NATO membership, given their significant military experience. Estonia advocates for stronger military coalition support for Ukraine, emphasizing the need for proactive measures.
Exclusive: Romania's Foreign Minister at the United Nations
Q: What is Romania's stance on sending peacekeeping troops to Ukraine?
Currently, Romania's decision is not to send troops to Ukraine, but this could change depending on the evolution of peace negotiations.
