The President discussed with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Estonia additional contributions to the PURL program, energy assistance and strengthening of air defense

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, met with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Estonia, Margus Tsakhna. “We are grateful for the energy packages, especially the energy support, which is key for us during all these terrible attacks on our energy infrastructure. In any case, we must be strong on the battlefield as well, and therefore the second thing is that we are very grateful for all your military aid packages," the Head of State said.

Volodymyr Zelenskyi and Margus Tsakhkna discussed further defense support for Ukraine and cooperation with partners within the Coalition of the Willing. The President informed about the needs of Ukraine, primarily about the need for additional missiles for air defense. The head of state noted Estonia's participation in the PURL program, thanks to which Ukraine is able to purchase missiles for air defense in the USA. Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that we now need additional contributions to PURL.

According to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Estonia is considering such a possibility. Margus Tsakhkna also noted that his country continues the implementation of humanitarian projects. In particular, the day before, he took part in the opening of a reconstructed residential building for internally displaced persons in Ovruch for one hundred people and the shelter of a rehabilitation center in Zhytomyr.

The plans include the construction of shelters for a kindergarten and people with special needs. "These were particularly emotional events for me, because it is very important to see with my own eyes how the small things we do mean so much. And I am sure that we will continue to support you. You also know that our Ministry of Defense has already agreed to help you with the list of necessary things that you need this year," the Minister of Foreign Affairs noted.
