Before assuming his current duties, Prikk served for nearly three years as the Permanent Secretary of the Estonian Ministry of Defense. In this role he was responsible for the management of the Ministry and for the coordination of activities of the agencies under the Ministry, including the Estonian Defense Forces, the Estonian Foreign Intelligence Service, and the Centre for Defense Investments.

CORRECTION: During his remarks, the Ambassador of Estonia cited news that referred to Dmitry Trenin as the person suggesting that Russia should conduct a “demonstrative” nuclear test to deter the West from allowing Ukraine to aim at targets on Russian territory. In fact, it was Dmitry Suslov who had suggested this. See more: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/think-tank-close-kremlin-says-russia-should-consider-demonstrative-nuclear-2024-05-29/
