Preparations for the Ukraine Recovery Conference #URC2027 in Tallinn next January are well underway.
The Ukrainian side has confirmed that the President of Ukraine has signed the invitations to world leaders. Estonia and Ukraine are working closely together to bring international partners to Tallinn.
Our goal is to turn shared commitments into practical deliverables and ensure Ukraine receives urgent support as it faces another harsh winter.
As Russia continues its daily attacks on Ukraine’s economy, energy and critical infrastructure, the Ukraine Recovery Conference #URC2027 in Tallinn on 28–29 January will shift its focus from recovery to resilience.
The goal is to mobilise urgent international support, secure concrete financial commitments and deliver practical solutions to help Ukraine withstand this winter.

Today in Bălți, together with my colleague @MihaiPopsoi, we launched @ESTDEVestonia’s IMPACT North programme to help communities in northern Moldova attract investment and turn local ideas into projects that improve people’s lives.
By sharing Estonia’s experience in regional development and EU funding, we are helping Moldova make the most of the opportunities on its path to the EU.
A stronger Moldova means a stronger, more secure Europe.
🇪🇪🤝🇲🇩 Today marks an important milestone for Estonia-Moldova cooperation, as Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna officially opened the Estonian Embassy in Chișinău.
Moldova is making strong progress toward European Union membership, and Estonia is committed to standing alongside Moldova in this process. 🇪🇺 Having a permanent embassy in Chișinău allows us to deliver our support even more effectively and with greater impact.
