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.

Estonia has been among Kyiv's staunchest supporters since the start of the full-scale invasion began, offering humanitarian, developmental, and military assistance.

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