The Estonian government cabinet has supported the proposal by Minister of Defense Hanno Pevkur (Reform) to provide long-term military aid to Ukraine as well as an extensive military aid package to support its defense against Russian aggression, reported from ERR. 

The military aid includes Javelin anti-tank missiles, vessels, and other much-needed equipment.

"Just like the Estonian Javelins playing a decisive role last year in the defense of Kyiv and inspired other countries to lend a helping hand to Ukraine, our aim with this extensive aid package is to show that Ukraine's fight for freedom can only succeed if the Allies continue helping Ukrainians," said Pevkur.

In addition to a large number of Javelin anti-tank mines, the newest aid package also includes machine guns, ammunition for light weaponry, various vehicles and vessels, as well as diving equipment. Due to security reasons, the exact amounts being provided are not being revealed to the general public. However, the replacement value of the package is in the region of €80 million.
