Estonia's total military aid to Ukraine to date approaching €300 million

To date, Estonia has sent a total of approaching €300 million in military aid to Ukraine as it defends itself from Russian aggression, making us one of the countries to have contributed the most in relative terms, Ministry of Defense Secretary General Kusti Salm said Friday.

"Estonia's military aid to Ukraine is starting to approach €300 million," Salm said at a press conference held at the Ministry of Defense. "Thus we remain among the world's top supporters in all kinds of relative terms — whether GDP or military spending."

According to the secretary general, Estonia's biggest contribution of late has been its focus on training Ukrainian troops. "We plan to train a rather impressive number of Ukrainian soldiers," he stressed.

Salm explained that in addition to air defense capability and ammunition, Ukraine has also increasingly been requesting help conducting training, as its units are tiring and need to be rotated out and replaced by a new shift at the front.
