15th Estonian Parliament, 3rd session, plenary session
The political position centers on strong, comprehensive, and continuous support for Ukraine, viewing the war as an existential issue for Estonia. The speaker firmly supports amending the Income Tax Act to extend the tax exemption for humanitarian aid donations. This support is justified by national security concerns, Estonia's significant contribution (0.25% of GDP), and broad public backing.

15th Estonian Parliament, 3rd sitting, plenary session
Politically, the speaker focuses on issues concerning national defense and border guard structures, by submitting a draft resolution to the Riigikogu (Estonian Parliament) regarding the re-establishment of a militarized border guard as a separate agency. Although the draft itself failed to gain support in the committee (4 votes in favor, 4 against), the necessity of granting combatant status to the personnel of the PPA (Police and Border Guard Board) is stressed, along with the creation of the Baltic Defense Zone to strengthen border protection. The position is clearly policy- and institution-driven, focusing on ensuring security.
