Tallinn, September 8 (Hibya) - Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna met with Dutch Foreign Minister Tom Berendsen in Tallinn. The two ministers agreed on continuing support for Ukraine, increasing pressure on Russia and strengthening Europe's defense.

Commenting on the meeting, Tsahkna said the Netherlands is a close ally that makes an important contribution to the region's security.
