Estonian Prime Minister Kaya Kallas said that her country will be able to fully accept a new wave of Ukrainian refugees. She said this on the radio station Raadio 4.

“We spoke with Finland that we are really no longer able to help refugees from Ukraine in this way, and the Finns said that they can accept more refugees,” Kallas said.

The Estonian prime minister also noted that the country is sending assistance to Ukraine to help residents restore the energy infrastructure and create opportunities for life there.

Kallas stressed that until now Estonia has been "generous", and she is proud of the citizens of the country who helped the Ukrainians.

Earlier, the authorities of the German federal state of Baden-Württemberg, which has already received a larger number of Ukrainian refugees, asked the German leadership to urgently advocate for a fair distribution of newly arrived people among the EU countries.

Prior to this, the Vice-President of the European Commission, responsible for democracy and demography, Dubravka Shuitsa, said that Ukrainian refugees would remain in European countries for many years after the end of the conflict.
