Tsahkna in Ukraine: Estonia contributes €150,000 to Ukraine Energy Support Fund

Republic of Estonia - Ministry of Foreign Affairs

27.10.2025 | 15:09

Today, 27 October, Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna informed his Ukrainian counterpart Andrii Sybiha in Kyiv that Estonia will allocate €150,000 to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund.

Since October 2022, when Russia began its targeted attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, Estonia has supported Ukraine's energy system both with equipment and financial contributions to the Energy Support Fund. With today's announcement, Estonia's total contribution to the fund now stands at €620,000. This support will help restore Ukraine's energy system, repair critical infrastructure, and secure gas supplies ahead of the winter season.

"We are deeply concerned by Russia's brutal and deliberate assault on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, which has intensified further over the past month. By attacking power stations, gas facilities and railways, and killing innocent civilians, Russia aims to plunge Ukrainians into darkness and cold this winter," said Foreign Minister Tsahkna. "These attacks are not merely acts of war—they are acts of terror against the Ukrainian people. Russia is trying to destroy Ukraine's economy, make everyday life unbearable, and break the spirit of its people," Tsahkna added.

Repairing Ukraine's energy infrastructure is a long-term undertaking. "The constant attacks on repair crews make restoration efforts extraordinarily difficult. To enable their work, Ukraine urgently needs more air defence and military assistance to protect what remains of its infrastructure," Tsahkna said.

"Support for Ukraine's energy system must continue and expand. Estonian companies are actively seeking ways to donate additional energy supplies, while the European Union strengthens its sanctions. Just last week, EU energy ministers agreed to ban Russian gas imports by 2028 at the latest—because aggressors have no place in Europe's energy market," Tsahkna stated.

"As Ukraine faces its fourth wartime winter, Estonia's support remains unwavering. We stand with Ukraine—for freedom, resilience, and victory," the Foreign Minister emphasised.
