The Prime Minister of Estonia will not remain silent about Russia, even if the USA asks him to.

On October 30, Reuters reported that the Pentagon urged NATO countries, including the Baltic states, to soften their rhetoric regarding Russia. U.S. officials argued that some European leaders' statements could negatively impact continental security. This request coincided with Russia's agreement to resume trilateral talks with the U.S. and Ukraine. The Estonian Prime Minister stated he would continue to speak about the Russian threat as long as civilians were harmed. Other Estonian politicians echoed this sentiment, while some diplomats suggested a more cautious approach to avoid international marginalization. They emphasized the need for a balanced public message in foreign policy.
