By Plenary Sessions: Meelis Kiili

The political position is strongly focused on national defense and deterrence. The speaker firmly supports withdrawal from the Ottawa Convention to provide the Defense Forces with additional capabilities for Estonia's military defense. This stance is justified by the need to deter an enemy that employs brutal weapons, and it is framed by core values (a free and sovereign state). In the speaker's assessment, Estonia has neither the time nor the territory to concede.
