Given the ongoing war in Ukraine and Russia’s role in destabilizing European security, it’s understandable that Estonia would view this visit as problematic. While diplomatic engagement has its place, high-profile visits risk normalizing aggression or being used for propaganda. The WHO must tread very carefully in how its actions are perceived.

The WHO is a global, neutral organization to ensure health of civillians, and it’s not the business of EU leaders to decide where they can and can’t visit
