15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
The main adversary is the Russian Federation, which is unequivocally labeled a terrorist state and a perpetrator of genocide, with demands for its removal from the UN Security Council. Criticism is also directed at the Western community and major Western nations, whose assistance to Ukraine is insufficient and slow. Specifically, the United States is urged to immediately resolve the internal political standoff concerning the provision of $60 billion in aid.

The speaker demands that the head of government conduct an honest self-assessment and resign if he lacks the courage to alter the current policy, proposing a technocratic government as the alternative.

15th Estonian Parliament, 3rd session, plenary session
The primary criticism is aimed at the collective inaction of the West and its political inability to make vitally necessary decisions, which has resulted in a "paradigmatic crisis" of support. Specific criticism is leveled against the internal political standoff in the US that blocked the $60 billion aid package, and the slow reaction from the European Union. The criticism is policy-driven and intense, suggesting that the current situation implies a long-term stalemate.
