Estonia launched the "ROSE Estonia" project to help Ukrainian refugees in the country with their goals in self-employment and entrepreneurship.

This initiative was announced by the Ukrainian Embassy in Estonia and involves various partners, including business organizations from Estonia, Norway, and Ukraine.

“The Embassy of Ukraine is ready to be part of such important initiatives that contribute to supporting our citizens and strengthening the ties between our countries,” the post stated on Facebook.

The opening ceremony for the project was held at SLAVA Ukraina restaurant in Tallinn, bringing together key stakeholders to discuss future plans.

As of January 2024, there were more than 36,000 Ukrainian refugees residing in Estonia.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.

We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.

Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
