By Plenary Sessions: Marko Mihkelson

The rhetorical style is formal, analytical, and extremely forceful, employing strong language to emphasize the existential threat posed by the situation ("a new world war," "on the threshold of global catastrophe"). The speaker utilizes logical argumentation, presenting a chronological overview of Russia's aggression, but also incorporates personal encounters and quotes from Ukrainian heroes to create maximum impact. The overall tone is one of concern, yet confident in Estonia's capacity to take action.
