Estonia
Can Nato defend Estonia against Russia?
Estonia is a parliamentary democracy, a member of the European Union and a post-Soviet success story right on the Nato frontline.
As the war following Russia鈥檚 invasion continues in Ukraine, Estonians ask - How defensible is their country? Can it rely on Nato? And how loyal is the Russian speaking minority within its own borders? Jonny Dymond is joined by a panel of Estonian politicians and opinion formers who field urgent questions from across the country.
The panel includes:
President Kersti Kaljulaid: Former President of Estonia
Marko Mihkelson MP: Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee
Yana Toom MEP
Kristi Raik: Director of the Estonian Foreign Policy Institute
Producers: Charlie Taylor and Helen Towner
Sound Engineers: John Boland, Chris Weightman and Henry Dutton
