Estonia sends more weapons to Ukraine, supports UK training program
Estonia will increase its defense aid to Ukraine, support the training of Ukrainian soldiers in the UK and send a field hospital to Ukraine in cooperation with Germany, the Ministry of Defense said on Thursday. Ukrainian forces have asked for additional support from the Allies in training their personnel and Pevkur said Estonia can assist with this. "The Estonian Defense Forces are especially proficient in training reservists for combat in an intense conventional war against a larger adversary – meaning, precisely for the kind of war that Ukraine is in right now," said Pevkur. Estonia and Germany will also donate a second field hospital. Russia's information warfare about Ukrainian fatigue and the ineffectiveness of providing aid to Ukraine was also highlighted by the minister. "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. In total, Estonia has provided military aid to Ukraine worth €250 million. This includes Javelin anti-tank missiles, howitzers, anti-tank mines, anti-tank grenade launchers, mortars, various light weapons, ammunition, vehicles, communication devices, medical equipment and supplies, personal protective equipment as well as military food rations. |
