Russia should be held accountable for its aggression against Georgia and Ukraine, – Urmas Reinsalu, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Estonia made this statement in an interview with Estonian media.

Urmas Reinsalu expressed hope that the EU wouldn’t back down in its sanctions policy against Russia.

“If we consider the West’s logic, there is a risk that a mistake will be made for the third time. Too weak a stance — in Georgia — encouraged [Russia] to cut its teeth first in Crimea, then in Luhansk, then Donetsk, and if these don’t come with too serious of a price tag, just a frozen conflict in which the West unilaterally displays powerlessness, then this paves the way for a third interventionist adventure somewhere in the world”, – Minister of Foreign Affairs of Estonia said.
