"I wished the new government of Estonia success in its work. Thank you for the powerful support since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion in the military, humanitarian and energy fields. This is very important for us in the context of preparing for the new heating period," Shmyhal wrote on Telegram on Wednesday.

"I informed my colleague about Russia's constant bomb attacks and energy terrorism. I talked about the needs of restoration work," he added.

"We appreciate Estonia's support for the Ukrainian president's peace formula. We look forward to continued close cooperation between our governments," he said.
