Estonian defence minister visits Kyiv to provide military aid

Estonian Defence Minister Hanno Pevkura visited Kyiv on February 26.

He delivered a new military aid package to Ukraine, Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov reports on Facebook.

"I was glad to welcome my friend and colleague of the Minister of Defense of Estonia, Hanno Pevkur, to Kyiv again today. This is not the first visit of our great friend to Kyiv." he said.

Reznikov added that Estonia's aid to Ukraine exceeded 1% of the country's GDP.

"It is difficult to overestimate Estonia's military aid. Just imagine – the total amount of its aid to Ukraine has already exceeded 1% of Estonia's GDP! Constant support in the framework of "Ramstein", 155 mm howitzers, the initiative "1 million 155 mm ammo for Ukraine", field hospitals and treatment of our soldiers – this is just a small list of what friendly Estonia does for us." the minister said.

The package, handed over to Ukraine on Sunday, includes assault rifles, pistols, unmanned aerial vehicles, thermal imagers, generators, chargers and clothing.

Earlier, Estonia called on the EU to limit the prices of russian liquefied natural gas.

Estonia also put forward a proposal to further reduce the price rate for russian oil.

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas insists that after the war in Ukraine ends, Russia must be held accountable for war crimes and the decision to invade a neighbouring country if it wants to have any chance of developing normal relations with the West.
