The focus is clearly international, centering on the events in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk Oblast and Estonia's foreign policy responsibilities.

It focuses on Estonia's national problems but constantly draws comparisons with neighboring countries (Finland, Sweden, Latvia, Lithuania) and international organizations (OECD) to highlight the exceptional deterioration of the Estonian situation. Special emphasis is placed on the impact of cross-border trade within the context of price levels in Latvia and Finland.
