Great to host colleagues from NB8 countries. Discussed development cooperation challenges and opportunities: reforms of UN and OECD Development Committe, tied vs untied aid. Found many areas where to cooperate, for example sharing experiences of increasing public awareness.

#OTD, in 1939, the Red Army crossed the 🇪🇪 Estonian border, marking another step in the destruction of an independent nation. Estonia regained its independence only 52 years later. #NeverAgain
#Estonian goverment approved amendments to the international Sanctions Act, incl. using Russia’s frozen assets to compensate for the damages its war has caused in #Ukraine.
I hope it will pass through Riigikogu as soon as possible so Russia would pay for the damages caused.
The second reconstruction project in 🇺🇦 by 🇪🇪 is ready and we won’t stop!
Today I was very honored to open the Malyn bridge in Zhytomyr 🇺🇦
