With the beginning of the full-scale criminal invasion of the Russian occupiers, all Ukrainians experienced uncertainty. At the same time, they received messages with words of support from abroad from acquaintances, friends and relatives.

"We think of you all, our dear colleagues and friends, constantly. All words seem superfluous in this terrible situation. All of Estonia supports Ukraine with such a warm feeling, which, to be honest, I did not expect from cold-blooded Estonians. The National Library made an appeal to hold exhibitions in the libraries of Estonia dedicated to Ukraine - its history, literature", - such a letter was received by the staff of the Central City Library named after M.L. Kropyvnytskyi on the morning of March 1, 2022, from the director of the library of Sillamäe (Estonia), Elvira Sidorova.
