Statement by the organizers of the April 21 Estonian plan event on Old Town Square

We organized this event because Europe needs a big change in the defense of Ukraine and our countries – the answer is offered by the plan of the Ministry of Defense of Estonia. All this is important despite the delayed approval of another US military aid package. In order to end the war, European forces must also be fully added. Estonia’s plan says we need to use our advantage: economic performance and full access to financial markets. All it takes is 0.25% of Western GDP to be devoted to the defense of Ukraine each year and Russia will have to end its aggression.

That is why we call on all citizens, all people of good will: ask politicians, for example, these basic questions:

In the past, Europe has created a tool worth 800 billion euros for post-coronavirus recovery. The question is, why are we still not able to raise tens of billions a year for the defense of Ukraine and Europe? This is what Estonia proposed – to show Russia that we are economically stronger and thus help end the war. After all, Europe can borrow for defense even without PM Orbán.

When will Europe’s security cease to depend so critically on decisions in the US? When we know that the EU itself is economically 8 times larger than Russia?

Will he support the Estonian plan supported by France and other countries? Are they in favor of creating a defense finance group of the willing? Why hasn’t a group of states been formed that would, for example, regularly borrow together on the financial markets to end the war?
