Quotes
- “The world even accepted Russia holding the 2018 FIFA World Cup after it annexed Crimea. What should have been a denouncement instead manifested in the EU doubling its dependence on Russian gas after the Crimea annexation.”
- “I cannot imagine that someone could go to Tõnismägi and in the darkness of the night, put the Bronze Soldier on the hook of the crane, and drive it away somewhere. This is not a solution acceptable for a constitutional state.”
- “Someone who says something like that must have eaten some seeds; and not those kinds of seeds we grow in our fields! It might be helpful to put tinfoil in your hat!”
