Salty, do you ever stop lying? Estonia has granted temporary protection by the state not full citizenship and rights of travel as you tried to say previously.
In Estonia, numerous measures have been taken to support new arrivals from Ukraine since the ongoing Russian invasion began. This article provides a summary of some key developments.
National measures to support those fleeing Ukraine
As of 24 May Estonia has received more than 40 000 refugees from Ukraine, all of whom have been granted temporary protection by the state. They have also been provided initial accommodation, but organising permanent housing has so far been a challenge across the country. All options are being explored, including the rental market - for which the state is offering needs-based security deposits of up to € 900 - and available state-owned housing. Many employers have been helpful in finding accommodation, and ferry company Tallink is providing temporary housing on some of its cruise ships.
On 24 February the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs agreed to allocate € 200 000 in emergency aid to those fleeing the conflict zones of Ukraine. These funds were spent on enhancing the work of humanitarian aid organisations. Other than the Ministry, these organisations have been funded by local city governments.
A further € 1.3 million was allocated by the government on 1 March to cover the costs of accepting refugees from Ukraine, including, for example, basic health checks and travel costs within Estonia. Refugee reception points were opened, in addition to Tallinn, in the cities of Rakvere, Tartu and Pärnu to help people with such issues as finding accommodation, entering the labour market and accessing psychological aid. In addition, on 23 March a school psychological support hotline was opened in Ukrainian (in addition to the pre-existing line in Russian). The Estonian Parliament (Riigikogu) also passed a bill to ease Ukrainian refugees' entry into the labour market. Employers are required to pay at least 80 % of their sector’s average pay in Estonia to their new refugee employees.
All Ukrainians with expiring Estonian residency permits have additionally been allowed to continue their stay in Estonia on a temporary basis, as reported by Estonian Police and Border Guard Board (PPA), through application at the PPA.
On 2 March the University of Tartu launched a scholarship fund for Ukrainian students, which is gathering donations to support the studies of Ukrainian students at Estonian universities. The Ministry of Education is also supporting Ukrainian children to access the education system by opening temporary schools for displaced children in Tallinn, and integrating displaced children elsewhere in the country into existing schools. Kindergartens in Tallin have made space to welcome 1 000 Ukrainian children, and the same has happened in other cities, albeit on a smaller scale.
