President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a phone call with President of Estonia Alar Karis.
Alar Karis expressed his condolences on the occasion of the Day of Remembrance for the Defenders of Ukraine, members of volunteer formations, and civilians who were executed, tortured, or died in captivity. Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked him for his support and solidarity with the Ukrainian people.
The Head of State specifically highlighted Estonia's contribution to strengthening Ukraine's defense capabilities, in particular the decision to allocate 0.25% of the country's GDP annually for the defense needs of our state, leadership in the IT Coalition, and the training and rehabilitation of Ukrainian warriors. The leaders discussed scaling up these areas of cooperation to further support the people of Ukraine.
The Presidents of Ukraine and Estonia also discussed Ukraine’s anti-corruption infrastructure, which is fully operational. Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that last week his bill was submitted to the Verkhovna Rada that guarantees the independence and effectiveness of anti-corruption bodies. Alar Karis expressed his support for Ukraine’s efforts in combating corruption.
The Head of State invited the President of Estonia to visit Ukraine.
