Svyrydenko and Kallas spoke at a press conference. Svyrydenko thanked Estonia for its support. She said: "Estonia has been helping Ukraine since the beginning of the war. Russia attacks Ukraine every day. Last night, Russia fired over 600 drones and 70 missiles. In Kyiv, 9 people died and 120 were injured. This is our daily life."
The prime ministers also discussed military aid. Svyrydenko said: "We are grateful to Estonia for its military assistance. Estonia provides 0.25% of its GDP to Ukraine. We share our experience in drones and air defense."
Svyrydenko also spoke about sanctions. She said: "Sanctions must be strong. Estonia supported the 20th sanctions package. We hope the 21st package will also be approved."
After the press conference, Svyrydenko went to Kadriorg Palace to meet with President Alar Karis. Later, she will meet with Speaker of the Riigikogu Lauri Hussar.
Svyrydenko became Prime Minister in 2023. Before that, she was Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy.
