The focus is strongly international, concentrating on European security and the threat posed by Russian imperialism. Particular emphasis is placed on the sovereignty issues of Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, and Belarus, as these are considered directly linked to Estonia’s own security. Regionally, cooperation between the Nordic-Baltic countries and the strengthening of ties with East Asian partners (Taiwan, South Korea) are deemed critically important.

The focus is strongly international and regional, centering on European security, support for Ukraine, and the transatlantic alliance. It pays particular attention to the geopolitical significance of Northern Europe (Finland and Sweden's NATO membership) and the Indo-Pacific region (Taiwan, Japan, South Korea). Local or domestic regional issues are not covered.
