BBC World Service - World Questions, Estonia

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’s 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

BBC World Questions is a series of international events created in partnership with the British Council.
