recovery, so our aid will definitely continue, and estonia will do everything possible to increase humanitarian and other aid to ukraine, well, i can only answer the estonian, i will try, madam ambassador, don't criticize my accent too much, tanantei dvaga for all that estonia does for us, well, look, one more moment, a few months ago the parliament of estonia. passed a law, and then this law was ratified by the president of estonia, which this law allows the use of frozen russian assets to compensate for the damage that russia has caused in this aggressive war in ukraine. several months have already passed, it seems two months have passed since this law came into force, have there already been any transfers, this is the first question, to ukraine, i mean, and the second question is whether other western countries have taken an example from estonia? because estonia was the first western

country to pass such a law. yes, of course, estonia was one of the first countries that started to say that there is no need to use frozen russian assets for the restoration of ukraine due to the fact that the aggressor has to pay the price for it, and we were one of the first countries to say so two years ago. that we need to start reconstruction, restoration of ukraine already during the war, we don't need to wait until it ends, because we need to give people hope and help refugees, those who left ukraine and then started to return, then we tried to understand, analyze all possible ways to... make russia pay

the price for the damage it did to ukraine, and we were pioneers in introducing such legislation regarding the use of frozen russian assets for the restoration of ukraine, and these assets are not only state assets, but also the property of private individuals and legal entities in estonia. all those who are under international sanctions, the law was passed recently, and the regulatory processes are still ongoing, because everything must comply with international rules, so that we do not create unnecessary problems for ukraine, in the years to come, so we are working on it now, and i think that we have great progress in this direction. happening, i hope that

we will be able to demonstrate to the whole world that this is possible, that it is possible to use all the frozen assets and the profits from these assets, not only directly, the profits for the simple fact that we held these assets before, you have set a very good example for western countries by passing this law, and other countries in your opinion, personal opinion. why don't they pass such laws, just your personal opinion, out of fear, or is something else possible? it is very difficult for me to say why certain countries do something or do not do something, but i think that there are still some legal issues, legal issues. which countries

are discussing, but estonia, our national legislation really tried to do so, in fact to bring it in such a form, to prove that we can do it without violating european or international legislation. i really hope that the western partners will see this, and will not delay and pass similar laws in their countries, but now let's move on to something else. the post-war reconstruction of ukraine, after all, even this reconstruction is already underway in different parts of ukraine, and those that were under temporary occupation in the first days of the war. tell me, please, does estonia have any projects, in this case state or non-state projects, with which it helps rebuild ukrainian cities and villages? yes, yes, of course, as i already said. we

started this work already in the 22nd year, and all these projects related to reconstruction in ukraine began then, in particular in the zhytomyr region. it is conditionally ours, our region, our region, since estonia is a small country, and we have limited resources, and we thought that we should approach the issue of restoring ukraine very comprehensively, that's why we chose one area, one region, and we provide assistance for reconstruction right there, we helped build a new kindergarten. and we conduct training for teachers, educators, in order for such help to be long-term, just not just to build one house or one shelter, but to help in such a way that it

is long-term and covers the problems faced by a specific region, of course, well but... they talked about money coming from estonia, or, for example, the military support that goes from estonia to ukraine, let's talk now about the help that ukrainians who are currently in the territory of the republic of estonia receive return to ukraine? yes, of course we have statistics. regarding the ukrainians who are currently living in estonia, and we provided them from the first day of their arrival in estonia any assistance, any assistance that we could provide, this is medical assistance,

social protection, education, we also opened two special schools, specialized schools for ukrainian children. they can study in the estonian language, but keep their language, their culture, and they can study according to the ukrainian program, so we are trying to do everything for the ukrainian refugees who are in estonia so that they do not lose this connection with their country, with its culture, we have other plans, projects, but the main slogan of the government is that it is necessary for ukrainians to feel that they are welcome here in estonia, and i can confidently say that

ukrainians in estonia definitely feel that they are welcomed in this country, because my daughter has been living in the territory of the republic of estonia for more than two years, she studies there and she knows what it is like. estonians think how estonians are helping, and how estonians are trying to do everything to bring our common victory over the russian aggressor closer. now a little about the victory: in estonia, apart from women and children, of course, there are many men who uh got, it's not so temporary asylum, temporary protection, it is called, as far as i understand in estonia, please tell me, now in many, at least in eastern european countries they speak. about the fact that they somehow try to cooperate with the government of ukraine regarding men who are subject to conscription into the army and who are military in order to somehow help these men, well at least register in ukraine, with the relevant authorities, and maybe

even return it to ukraine, is there something similar in estonia? yes, such discussions, such requests started arriving some time ago, but our previous prime minister said that since people live in estonia legally, we gave them temporary permits for residence and temporary. protection, and we do not plan to send them back to ukraine, because we have rules, we have obligations, and this also comes from european

legislation, that is, we have no plans to send them back to ukraine, but we in this sense we cooperate with the ukrainian authorities with... the ukrainian embassy in tallinn, i we understand that there are needs in ukraine, but i think that many ukrainians who live in... in ukraine, they want to return to their country, they are waiting for such an opportunity, for an opportunity, to return, this was one of the reasons why we we started the reconstruction so early so that people could see the perspective of the future, we have kindergartens, our local communities, etc., so that it would be easier for people to return, we of course. we are cooperating with the ukrainian authorities in order to understand how to help the ukrainians, but

as i say, we are not going to send them back, if they don't want it, of course, madam ambassador, one more question, and the question can be said from ukrainian students studying in estonia, recently, well, literally a month or two ago, there was information that... miram in lithuania are going to or have they already adopted a law according to which they will deprive ukrainian students studying under the exchange program, or are they going to do something similar in estonia or not? and we have ukrainian students who have been studying in estonian universities for many years, even before the full-scale war. we have many ukrainian students and we are proud of them, because they are very

smart, they are very eager to study, and so far i have not had any information about the government's plans to stop assistance under the programs that are currently active, so ukrainian students should ... calm down, everything will be fine, thanks to our brothers and sisters in estonia of course. let us now once again return a little to, unfortunately, the military theme, and talk about red lines, these red lines are talked about a lot in the west, for for someone they are, for someone they are clearly defined, for someone they are very unclear, but for estonia, in this war, in our common war, i will call it that, in our common war. with the russian aggressor, are there any red lines? this is my favorite question, thank you

for it, estonia has never talked about any red lines, the most important thing for us, one of the most important things, is... uh, integrity, territorial integrity, democracy, cultural identity of the people, and we strive for that in estonia, in our country, and this is what we really like in ukraine, and not we see no red lines when it comes to russia's brutal war against ukraine, all the war crimes, genocide that they... committed , we believe that there cannot be any

red lines here, and our goal is to preserve ukrainian independence, democracy, territorial integrity, so we support ukraine in... everything we can so that it can achieve these goals, and accordingly, we do not see any red lines here as such, the government has already said on many occasions that we are ready to discuss any - what an opportunity about helping ukrainians, and the most important thing is to help ukraine win this war. then we are ready to discuss any solutions, ways, but since we are a small country, we

understand that we need to cooperate with other countries, move together, then it will be easier to discuss these issues with our partners, and we are ready. to be a pioneer in certain solutions, so our red line, if i can call it that, or the blue-yellow line, it's just... just great words, it's not a red line, it's a yellow-blue line, and it to help ukraine win this war of aggression, it's just, it's just incredible, i thank you very much for that, but look, in estonia itself, i understand that you are now trying your best to help us win this

war, but in estonia are they not considering , i will not say so, or i will say it directly, why are they preparing in estonia for a possible attack from russia now, because there was a lot of talk about it at the beginning of the invasion of ukraine 2.5 years ago, but are they talking about it now in estonia? of course, when we became an independent state, in the early 90s, we always we were very careful with our neighbor and we had no illusions about the fact that russia has no plans to invade, and we always spoke in nato and in the eu about a possible

threat from russia, we, we warned it . other countries about it, so we have been preparing for self-defense for a long time since the beginning of the 90s, that is why we wanted to acquire membership in the eu, and we wanted to join nato, we prepared step by step for this, and every year we increased our spending on... defense on defense and called on others other nato countries for this, to protect themselves both individually and jointly, collectively. therefore, yes, we are preparing and continue to prepare. i can't say that we started thinking about it or

preparing only after the 14th year, when russia occupied part of ukraine. or after the start of a full-scale war, we did something step by step every day to protect ourselves from this evil, and from this evil you must always prepare, defend yourself, because this evil is not foreseen, this evil can attack in any wave, i am witnesses of this, we were in february 2022, so you have to constantly prepare, let's say two more words about ordinary estonians, your country is small, but... as far as i know, different people live in different parts, of course, what is the attitude after 2.5 years of a full-scale invasion of ukraine estonians, to the fact that your government supports ukraine and to what is happening in ukraine? why am i asking because, as far as i know, in the north-east of estonia, in the narva area, there are a lot of russian-speaking

citizens of estonia living there, do they support all the actions. yes, we have for many years there is a russian-speaking minority living in estonia, we have been trying to integrate them into estonian society for almost 30 years, and of course we see that there is a certain contingent of people who do not want this. they still look more in the direction of russia, but estonia, estonian society and the government of estonia, of course we support ukraine and further it is not even a question of reducing such aid,

i think, since the war is already going on. years and the brutality of putin's regime is increasing and intensifying every day, and we are ready to help ukraine in the long term, not only for victory, but also for further recovery, so the support is increasing, i can say, and... if you look at the non-governmental organizations of ordinary citizens who help ukraine, we see that every month, or even every week. support comes from ordinary estonians who collect or provide humanitarian aid, but just yesterday i

read that three estonian non-governmental organizations that have been helping ukraine for over 2.5 years sent a new column of aid and there were medical products, and drones, and military aid for the front, for the army, for rescuers, they help and the aid continues to come and even increases in volume, because, as i said, this... admiration for ukraine, it is very big in estonia, and every day we are shocked by the brutality of putin's regime, that he

continues, this brutality is happening, and of course, our support will not decrease, it will only increase. well, this is a mutual admiration, i must tell you, we admire the estonians, for their support and help to ukraine from the very the beginning, because... in some countries they are trying to find some things to justify the fact that they do not want to help, and we admire the estonians, who from the first day of the war uh, helped us and supported us, madam ambassador, i thank you very much for visiting me today and the last question for you: you have been in ukraine for a year, i understand that you have a busy schedule, you came to us after an important meeting, i mean for an interview, and such meetings you have a lot, but do you have time, or did you have time? time during this year to travel, a little travel through ukraine, do you have a favorite place in ukraine? definitely, when i came

to ukraine a year ago, i told my colleagues that i am an ambassador in ukraine, not in kyiv, which means that i have to travel a lot and see how local communities live, i have to communicate with... with people , and yes, i was in kharkiv, in odessa, in rivne, in zhytomyr, of course, this is our partner, a partner region, and i was in many corners of ukraine, and i think it is important to demonstrate to local communities that we support them, and we are not afraid to come to them, come to these. territory, because we understand that what they face every day are these attacks, shelling, alarms, and

it is important for me to demonstrate that i am here, i am ready to provide adequate information to my capital, so that they can decide that more help is needed in in that direction or in another direction, i really love your country, it is very beautiful, very... wonderful, every day i see more and more surprisingly very beautiful things, and i really like the resilience of ukrainians, and by the way, i on the front line as well was at the beginning of march, i said that i needed to talk to the soldiers. to see what was happening at the front, and it was during those difficult times, when foreign aid

began to be somehow reduced or delayed, and i then said that i needed to get this feedback from the front itself, so that i could pass this information to tallinn so that they can make the necessary decisions about what is specifically required. so i will continue to travel, now i want to focus more on those areas that face the more than everyone with the energy crisis and to understand what is specifically needed for these regions, so of course i will travel as much as possible, the traveling ambassador, for this we thank her, and we thank her for all the help and support we receive from. government of estonia and from ordinary estonians, who from the very beginning started helping us to defend our country, our independence, our, our sovereignty and our territorial

integrity. madam ambassador, i am very... thank you very much for joining this conversation today, thank you all to the citizens of your country for everything you do for us, and this was an interview with ms. ambassador of the republic of estonia to ukraine anneli kolk, who came to us a year ago and has already done a lot in this position. espresso interviews will continue, my name is yuriy fizar, see you soon. laughter, physical activity, sneezing. even during such a small load, urinary incontinence can make itself felt. feminost uuro helped me. thanks to the natural ingredients , feminost uro helps restore control over urination. uuro femininity - urination under control. education is the future of every changing country. in
