On Wednesday, January 15, Minister of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umyerov met with the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Estonia, Margus Tsakhna. As he said on Facebook, the key topic of discussion was the support of our country in 2025, in particular in the defense and technological sectors.
“Special emphasis is placed on the need to strengthen Ukrainian air defense, which is critical due to constant attacks by ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as drones aimed at civilian and critical infrastructure,” the head of the Ministry of Defense emphasized, adding that together with representatives of intelligence, they informed Estonian partners about the situation at the front and key needs of the Defense Forces.
In addition, the parties discussed the prospects of deepening cooperation between the two countries in the field of digital technologies, since Estonia, as a co-leader of the IT coalition, makes a significant contribution to the development of this industry in Ukraine.
“We have outlined the key areas where we need support, in particular, the financing of defense production. Margus Tsakhkna confirmed Estonia’s readiness to support Ukraine and agreed with the idea of using frozen Russian assets as a resource to strengthen our defense capabilities,” added Rustem Umyerov.
As ArmiyaInform reported, during a meeting with a delegation of the Latvian Diet led by speaker Daiga Mierina, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine discussed the production of UAVs with the proceeds from the frozen assets of the Russian Federation.
