Estonia's humanitarian and military assistance to Ukraine so far amounts to 0.8% of our GDP.

But we must all do more. Until Ukraine has not won, we haven't done enough.

Our deeds speak louder than words. #ArmUkraineNow

Did the speaker use the word until correctly here? It seems that it should have been "Until Ukraine has won, we haven't done enough."

As written, it's actually suggesting that Estonia should contribute more towards the defeat of Ukraine, rather than the intended message of supporting Ukraine.

One small error, but it completely changes the message.

One way of expressing what she means is with 'as long as':

As long as Ukraine has not won, we haven't done enough.
