Estonia's foreign minister visits Ukraine

Thursday, 5 February 2026 —

Estonia's Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna has arrived in Ukraine.

Tsahkna said on X that he came to see for himself how Ukrainians continued to keep going "amid cold and darkness, under constant threat to life, facing loss and horror".

"Ukraine continues its resistance against brutal aggression, refusing to allow terror and imperialism to prevail. This fight is not only about Ukraine's security. It is about Europe's security. Our gratitude to Ukraine for standing its ground is immeasurable, and we will do everything we can to support it," he wrote.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk arrived in Kyiv on the morning of 5 February.

Tsahkna described Russia's latest large-scale strike on Ukraine's energy system on 3 February as state terror.

Estonia at EU level has pushed for a ban on entry to the Schengen area for anyone who fought against Ukraine in the ranks of the Russian Armed Forces.
