Estonia sends a team of demining specialists to Ukraine, which will constantly help Ukrainian colleagues on a rotating basis
European Pravda writes about it by referring to ERR.
According to the media outlet, each team consists of 5 people with three cars.
They will be replaced periodically by other colleagues.
Ukraine's interior minister said that Estonian specialists will help in areas where there are many mines and unexploded ordnance left, but there are no more active hostilities.

In monetary terms, the largest commitments were made by the United States – about EUR7.6 bln
They are followed by Poland, Great Britain and Germany.
According to the institute, all EU countries together have promised assistance of about 2.9 billion euros, plus 1.4 billion euros from the EU institutions and 2 billion euros from the European Investment Bank.
Also, Estonia accommodated about 30,000 Ukrainians because of the war.
