What the Academy can do for Ukraine
On this website you will find necessary information about what the Estonian Aviation Academy can do to help the Ukrainians, our official statements concerning the military offensive against Ukraine and other related topics. The information is constantly being updated.
In the morning of February 24, when we celebrated the 104th birthday of the Republic of Estonia, the Russian Federation launched a military offensive against Ukraine. This is not an attack on one country, but on the whole of Europe and the European values. Estonian Aviation Academy supports the Ukrainians in our thoughts, with offering study and working opportunities, as well as by taking our stance and voicing our protest against the actions of the Russian Federation publicly. We will stand together, express our support for Ukraine in a way that is possible and affordable to each of us.
