ISTANBUL
Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal on Monday arrived in Ukraine’s capital Kyiv on his first official visit to the country since taking office in July.
Michal said in a statement on X that he arrived in Kyiv on Monday morning and will hold talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, his counterpart Denys Shmyhal, and Parliament Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk.
“Supporting Ukraine until victory will remain Estonia’s priority, we will make no concessions,” Michal further said.
He went on to say that Ukraine’s “victory” is a win not only for Europe, but also for the US and the “whole democratic world.”
The visit is the first by Michal since taking office in July, replacing Kaja Kallas, who assumed the post of EU high representative for foreign affairs and security policy on Dec. 1.
