"The fighting in Ukraine continues to be intense. Although more and more western weaponry is reaching the frontlines, our moral responsibility is to continue supporting Ukraine. They are fighting for our shared values, and if there is anything we can send to Ukrainians, we have to do so," said Minister of Defense Hanno Pevkur (Reform).

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. 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, and military food rations.
