The politician neither criticizes nor directly names political opponents. The only point of tension mentioned is a slight "competition" between Estonian interests and the opinion of the European Central Bank regarding the provisions concerning the central bank in the crisis law.

The main adversary is the Russian Federation and the historical Russian Empire, which stand accused of pursuing a centuries-long policy of genocide. The criticism is intense and politically focused, centering on persecution, imprisonment, torture, and the destruction of national identity in Crimea.

There is no direct criticism aimed at political opponents or opposition groups. The indirect criticism is leveled at government ministries and agencies, which have been too slow in drafting the readiness act that integrates the management of civil crises and national defense.

9 Speeches
Criticism is directed at the Centre Party faction's procedural approach, as they failed to submit concrete proposals for reductions, instead seeking to exclude the fee amendments from the draft bill entirely. Also noted were the proposals from the Isamaa faction, which were rejected, and the position of Varro Vooglaid, who welcomed the compromise but was fundamentally opposed to raising the fees. The criticism targets the differences between policy and procedure.

5 Speeches
There is no direct attack against opponents; rather, he neutrally references critical questions raised by colleagues (Pakosta, Kovalenko-Kõlvart) concerning the sharp increase in fees and preferential conditions. He defends the draft bill, citing explanations from the minister and officials that the price hike has been thoroughly considered. However, procedural decisions (6 in favor, 3 against) indicate clear opposition within the committee, which he reports neutrally.

The main adversaries have been clearly identified: Russia and its "friend Belarus," who are heavily criticized for eroding the security situation and for their disruptive actions. The criticism is intense and based on both political and security grounds.
