SUPREME COURT REPUBTIC OF ESTONIA President Vsevolod Kniaziev Supreme Court of Ukraine 8 Pylypa Orlyka Str. 01043 Kyiv UKRAINE Tartu, 2 March2022 Dear Mr Kniaziev, The Supreme Court of Estonia is utterly dismayed by the aggressive attacks committed by the Russian Federation against Ukraine. It is an unimaginable and immense breach of rule of law, human rights and fundamental principles in Europe in the 2l't Century. We understand that the Ukrainian people as well as the judiciary are currently in severe danger and we would like you to know that the Supreme Court of Estonia stands by you in this terrible crisis. Our justices have made donations to different organisations which help to provide humanitarian aid and other necessities to Ukrainian people. On behalf of myself and all justices of the Supreme Court of Estonia I would like to express my sincere hope that this aggression will have a fast and peaceful ending and you will be able to restore the constitutional order in Ukraine. We will continue our good cooperation with the Supreme Court of Ukraine in the hope that the time of fear and despair will be over immediately. We hope that you and your family members are safe. Yours sincerely, Villu Kõve Chief Justice Supreme Court of Estonia 17 Lossi St, 50093 Tartu, ESTONIA.TeI +372 730 9002, fax +372 730 9003, e-mail: [email protected] t,n'u'. ri i gi kohns. e'e
