Estonia agreed on a package of assistance to Ukraine for UAH 113 million. It became the largest of those that the country provided us with the start of a full-scale war.. The package includes:.

dozens of 155 mm FH-70 and 122 mm D-30 howitzers;

thousands of artillery shells of 155 mm caliber;

hundreds of anti-tank grenade launchers M2 \;

means of supporting artillery units.

“Thus, the total military aid to Ukraine is more than 1% of Estonian GDP. In addition, Estonia will continue to provide both basic and specialized training to the soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” the embassy added..

The embassy expressed gratitude to the allies who joined the Tallinn Declaration and pledged to collectively seek the provision of an unprecedented range of grants, including main battle tanks, heavy artillery, air defense equipment, ammunition and infantry fighting vehicles.
