105 years ago, Tartu peace treaty was signed between Estonia & Soviet Russia.
The keys to success in negotiations for🇪🇪 were a strong position on the battlefield, firm alliances & a strategic timing. It was a peace built on strength not concessions.
A valuable lesson for today.

Aggressor's planned 3-day special military operation failed owing to #Ukraine’s strength & resistance.
Russia has not been successful. Let's not forget - 🇺🇦's forces are still in Kursk.
Stressed that as I shared a stage in #Davos with Moritz Schularick, Gundbert Scherf & Oleksandr Kamyshin.
