Estonia on the Edge: A Conversation with Ambassador Jonatan Vseviov

Jonatan Vseviov, Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and former Estonian Ambassador to the US, joins Jill Dougherty to discuss what it means to conduct foreign policy for a country that shares a border with Russia, particularly in the wake of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. They discuss how Estonia’s fraught relationship with the Soviet Union and later Russia shaped the Baltic country’s security concerns, and explore how Russia’s war in Ukraine has fundamentally changed European security and partnerships.
