Russia is currently experiencing a certain shortage of weapons, so Ukraine cannot take pause in the war, as such a pause would only benefit the aggressor.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told a joint press conference with his Estonian counterpart Alar Karis, SIA reports with reference to foreign media.
"A pause on the battlefield, on the territory of Ukraine, is not a pause in the war. It does not mean that the war is over. And it does not lead to a political dialogue with the Russian Federation or anyone else," he insisted.
The visit by Zelenskyy, who is also due to visit Latvia on Thursday, follows several waves of heavy Russian bombardment of Ukraine since late December.
Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia, former Soviet republics now members of NATO and the European Union, are strong supporters of Kiev in the face of Russia's invasion.
The Ukrainian president also reiterated that NATO membership would be the best guarantee of security for his country and the region.
"NATO membership would be the best security guarantee for Ukraine that Russian aggression will not be repeated. It would also be the best security guarantee for the Baltic countries, for Poland, and the possibility of a different future for Belarus," he said.
The Estonian president, for his part, assured Estonia's unfailing support for Ukraine.
"In this brutal war, on this great battlefield, we are all allies fighting for freedom," Karis said, believing that "the solution, which is to push back the aggressor, requires a joint effort of all democratic countries".
"All Russia's chances in this war rest on the hope that the united front of the allies will break and the Ukrainians will be left alone," he added.
Alar Karis also said that Estonia will provide 1.2 billion euros of aid to Ukraine until 2027.
