Estonia is one of them. For more than half a century, it has been under Soviet occupation. That is why it is not surprising that the Ambassador of Estonia to Ukraine recommended us to “learn the strategic patience and never give up”. Estonia understands the value of non-recognition policy. Non-recognition of the Soviet annexation of Baltic States allowed Estonia to quickly find a decent place in Europe after restoration of its independence. Estonia understands the danger of cooperation with an aggressor on gas supply. Years ago, such a cooperation of the West with the USSR prolonged the economic existence of the Soviet empire. Today this history is reflected in the Nord Stream 2 project. Sanctions are a good instrument to contain the aggressor. In order to use it effectively, Ukraine should not wait while the West will do the work. Ukraine should give its allies information about physical persons and legal entities to be covered by sanctions. It is the story Kaimo Kuusk, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Estonia to Ukraine, told the Center for Journalist Investigations. An interview with him was taken by Yulia Kazdobina, analyst, the head of the Ukrainian Foundation for Security Studies, and Mykyta Panasenko, journalist of the Center.
