Details: Tsahkna said Estonia is channelling around €400,000 through Estonian non-governmental organisations to support Ukrainians facing difficulties caused by ongoing Russian attacks on energy facilities and critical infrastructure.
Quote: "The support will fund mobile crisis centres, and evacuation and transit centres … Putin is trying to use cold and darkness as a weapon, but every generator, every repaired cable and every euro of aid sends a clear message: Ukraine will not break."
