However, Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur said that the country would not change its defense intentions because of Putin's allegedly "peaceful" statements.
We will not change our plans just because Putin gave an interview to a journalist. Do you really believe Vladimir Putin after what he has said and how he has behaved all these years
He recalled that a few days before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia also categorically denied the possibility of an attack.
We are simply increasing our readiness. And everyone should do the same. Not only here in Estonia, but also in all other countries,
