May 17 Olena Hrazhdan interviews Monika and Signe

Monika and Signe, two Estonian women, are volunteering to help Ukraine - they've organized the production of military nets  which are supplied to the Ukraine army for defensive use. Both women are inspired to be doing something war-related, but at the same time admit that they support Ukraine because it's defending itself, not attacking other sovereign country. Besides producing nets, Monika and Signe organize Ukrainian events in Tartu - like Ukrainian Bouffet, a food event with Ukrainian dishes, that is supported by Open Women, an organization for women rights. Monika and Signe talk about what the Russia's war against Ukraine means for Estonia. They share their memories of the Soviet times when Estonia was a part of the USSR. Both women emphasize a role of Nordic countries like Norway, Sweden and Denmark for making Estonia an independent state and a good place to live.
