She has had a storied career in the Estonian Foreign Service, previously serving as ambassador to Turkey, concurrently accredited to Iran and Azerbaijan. In 2017 she helped secure the release of Estonian security personnel in India, earning her the nickname ‘Lioness’

We discuss Estonia’s history with Russian imperialism and their fight for freedom, the importance of supporting Ukraine in its fight and what European partners should be doing to ensure that freedom wins.
