Estonia-Ukraine Security Agreement
15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, information briefing 1 decisions
Decision:
No decisions were made. The information session addressed the essence and legal nature of the Estonia-Ukraine security agreement. The agreement was defined as an expression of political will, not a new international treaty or the undertaking of additional financial or military obligations. Should the Riigikogu mandate and potential involvement in financial or defense sector issues be required, this commitment will be integrated into the budget strategy, and financial obligations will be handled through the Riigikogu. Furthermore, it was emphasized that the precise text of the agreement and its interpretations must be verified by legal experts and through a clear understanding of jurisdictional boundaries, and, if necessary, fundamental decisions of the Riigikogu will be involved.
