Hussar welcomed his Ukrainian counterpart and reaffirmed Estonia\u2019s full support to Ukraine in its fight against Russia\u2019s aggression. \u201cA week ago, the Riigikogu adopted a Statement acknowledging the deportation of Crimean Tatars 80 years ago as genocide, but the horrors continue on Ukrainian soil, including in Crimea, also today. Estonia has been one of the major supporters of Ukraine in this war, as well as a steadfast supporter of Ukraine\u2019s membership in the European Union and NATO, and Estonia\u2019s support will continue until Ukraine wins this war, the horrors end and Ukraine is rebuilt,\u201d Hussar said.<\/p>\n
Stefanchuk gave the President of the Riigikogu an overview of Ukraine\u2019s five-point victory plan, which was presented to the Ukrainian Parliament six days ago. According to Hussar, we support the victory plan, which will make it possible for Ukraine to take the initiative in the war and thus move towards a just peace. \u201cThe Riigikogu supports President Zelenskyy\u2019s victory plan. We support the abolition of military restrictions in the fight against the aggressor,\u201d he noted, and highlighted also Estonia\u2019s aid for the reconstruction of Zhytomyr Oblast, the military aid given by Estonia to Ukraine, which this year had amounted to 100 million euros, or 0.25 per cent of GDP, as well as the activities of the Estonia-Ukraine Parliamentary Friendship Group of the Riigikogu.<\/p>\n
Stefanchuk thanked the Riigikogu for all its political decisions and for all the nine Statements in support of Ukraine, in particular for the last Statement that recognised the deportation of Crimean Tatars as genocide. He also thanked the people of Estonia for the support they had given to Ukraine.<\/p>\n
