Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna has been vocal about Hungary's alignment with Russia, stating that Hungary risks losing its EU voting rights due to its blockade of decisions on Russia. Tsahkna emphasizes that Russia represents a threat to NATO, urging member countries to increase defense budgets. He also supports the US's firm stance against Russia. Tsahkna advocates for using frozen Russian assets in Europe to support Ukraine, highlighting Russia's fragile economy. Additionally, Tsahkna criticizes Slovakia for threatening Ukraine's electricity supply and expresses disapproval of Chancellor Scholz's communication with Putin, calling it a strategic error. According to Tsahkna, Trump's decisive actions could elevate him to a Churchill-like status if directed against Russian aggression.

Why does Tsahkna believe Hungary is aligned with Russia?

Margus Tsahkna believes Hungary is aligned with Russia because it consistently blocks decisions on Russia in the European Union, possibly leading to the deprivation of its EU voting rights. This alignment undermines EU unity in managing the crisis with Russia.

How does Tsahkna view NATO's current response to Russia?

Tsahkna argues that Russia poses a threat to all NATO members and thus advocates for increased defense budgets among alliance members. He believes increasing pressure through military readiness and support for Ukraine is critical to managing Russian aggression.

What are Tsahkna's views on the use of frozen Russian assets?

Tsahkna supports the allocation of frozen Russian assets to Ukraine. He contends that this would weaken Putin's position, provide vital resources for Ukraine's defense needs, and leverage economic weaknesses in Russia to create strategic advantages.

How does Tsahkna respond to Slovakia's threat to Ukraine?

Tsahkna finds Slovakia's threat to cut off emergency electricity supplies to Ukraine "absolutely unacceptable." He stresses the importance of solidarity within Europe to provide critical infrastructure support to Ukraine amid ongoing war challenges.

What does Tsahkna mean by a "strategic mistake" by Scholz?

Tsahkna considers German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's call to Vladimir Putin a "strategic mistake." Tsahkna argues that any engagement that seems to support or legitimize Putin's regime undermines efforts to isolate the Kremlin and resolve the conflict in Ukraine.

Can Trump influence the conflict between Ukraine and Russia according to Tsahkna?

Tsahkna posits that Donald Trump has the potential to be a "Churchill of our time" if he takes decisive action regarding Russia's aggression. This would require robust support for Ukraine, reflecting historical leadership akin to Churchill's wartime stance.
