Estonia will continue supporting Ukraine’s defense efforts next year with more than €100 million, Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur announced during a two-day visit to Kyiv, according to the Estonian Ministry of Defense report on September 14.

The funding, equivalent to 0.25% of Estonia’s GDP, will prioritize Ukraine’s most urgent military needs and be delivered largely through Estonian defense industry products.

“Estonia will continue to resolutely support Ukraine in its war of aggression against Russia. Next year, we will also adhere to the principle that 0.25% of our GDP will go to help Ukraine,” Pevkur said.

“We are based on Ukraine’s military needs, and next year, Estonian defense industry companies will also play a key role. In addition, we will continue to train Ukrainians and support IT solutions in the Ukrainian defense sector,” he continued.
