“Fightings in Ukraine remain intense, and although Ukraine receives more and more Western weapons, we are morally obliged to support Ukraine. Ukrainians are fighting for our common values, and if we have weapons that we can give them, we must do so,” the Estonian Minister of Defence noted.
Moreover, Estonia will support the training of Ukrainian soldiers in the UK and send a field hospital to Ukraine in cooperation with Germany.
“Just as the aid that has already been provided clearly shows that we are not tired, our Allies have all confirmed their readiness to help Ukrainians in their freedom war as long as it is needed,” added Pevkur.
The total value of the military aid provided by Estonia is 250 million euros. Javelins, anti-tank grenade launchers, howitzers, anti-tank mines, various types of small arms with ammunition, communication equipment, protective equipment, medical equipment and dry rations are among the equipment that has already been provided to Ukraine.
