The meeting recognised that Russia’s possible military action in the region is a threat to not only Ukraine, but the security of the whole Europe and it is important for everyone to continue to support the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine.
“Despite the ongoing hostilities in Eastern Ukraine, Ukrainians remain supporters of reforms, continuing their efforts to integrate into the European Union,” said the Head of State at the meeting. “This is a country that appreciates democratic values, and Estonia supports Ukraine’s aspirations for the European Union and the right of Ukrainians to decide which alliances they want to join.”
President Karis assured that Estonia values the European Union activities in Ukraine highly and continues to provide assistance to Ukrainians both bilaterally and via different initiatives of the EU.
President Alar Karis is planning to visit Ukraine in early 2022.
