Ukraine has officially submitted to Estonia a list of military aid worth €100 million, including drones, watercraft, and medical equipment. Contracts for procurement are already being prepared.
This was reported by the Estonian Ministry of Defense.
On March 21, Ukraine officially submitted to Estonia its wishlist for military aid, consisting of products from Estonian defense companies worth €100 million.
The selection includes unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned ground vehicles, watercraft, medical equipment, and other materials offered by Estonian manufacturers. The quantity and delivery timeline of this aid remain confidential.
Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur emphasized that Estonia has committed to supporting Ukraine with 0.25% of its GDP annually for military needs, including purchasing products from local defense companies.
According to him, feedback from Ukraine allows for the efficient and swift delivery of the necessary materials.
"I am very satisfied with the high level of Estonia’s defense industry and the wide range of products available. The next step is for the National Defense Investment Center to finalize procurement contracts for the selected Ukrainian products as soon as possible so that the necessary materials arrive without delays," said Katri Raudsepp, head of the Expert Committee on Ukraine Support Measures.
Estonia will continue to provide military assistance to Ukraine, contributing to military training and the development of an IT coalition in cooperation with Luxembourg.
Additionally, the Baltic and Nordic countries are working on equipping and training a Ukrainian brigade by 2025.
