On behalf of Ukraine, Maliar expressed gratitude for a joint gift from Estonia and Germany.

"The support in the medical sphere is very important for us. The Russian-Ukrainian war has been lasting for eight years in Ukraine. Thirteen thousand Ukrainian citizens died. Thirty thousand were injured during the war. And, judging by all of that, Putin has no intention of ending this war. We highly appreciate the support provided by Germany and Estonia in healing our wounded soldiers and in the military medicine sphere. At the same time we want to reduce the number of wounded and so we hope that the weapon procurement for Ukraine will be unlocked in the NATO Support and Procurement Agency," Hanna Maliar addressed to the attendees.

In his turn, the Minister of Defence of the Republic of Estonia expressed words of support to Ukraine for its unfaltering position in standing for its sovereignty and territorial integrity and also for Euro-Atlantic aspiration of our state.

As reported, Delegation of Ministry of Defence of Ukraine had held two-day visit to Republic of Estonia.
