Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna commented on Russia's attacks against Ukraine. In a post on his social media account, Tsahkna stated that Russia had attacked Ukrainian cities overnight with 16 ballistic missiles and more than 250 unmanned aerial vehicles.

Tsahkna noted that critical infrastructure and energy facilities had once again been targeted, reporting damage to a medical clinic, a school, a metro station and residential buildings. He added that more than 500,000 households had been left without electricity as a result of the attacks.

Arguing that Russia's daily attacks demonstrated its unwillingness to pursue peace, Tsahkna accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of conducting a campaign of attacks aimed at leaving Ukrainians in the cold and dark during the winter months.

Tsahkna called for increased pressure on Russia, stronger sanctions and deeper international isolation of the country. He also stated that frozen Russian assets should be used for Ukraine's benefit, emphasizing that every attack carried out by Russia should impose a greater cost on the Kremlin.
