Kallas said this at a joint press conference with the President of Ukraine, Vodymyr Zelensky, in Tallinn, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

The head of the Estonian government recalled that Estonia had made a decision regarding long-term support to Ukraine, in particular, 0.25% of the country's GDP will be donated to Ukraine in the form of military aid over the next four years.

Estonia hes that this will be an example for others to flow because, as historian Timothy Snyder said, “blood, sweat and tears” is what Ukraine is today so partners need to have a clear understanding of this and self-determination to competently redistribute resources in order to provide them to Ukraine so that it can remain sustainable, Kallas said.

She added that Estonia is constantly thinking about how to isate Russia, how to use immobilized Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine, and how to bring Russia to justice.
