"We are giving all our 155mm howitzers to Ukraine. And we want to set a precedent so that other countries will have no excuses why they cannot provide Ukraine with the necessary weapons to win the war," said Kaimo Kuusk.
The ambassador has announced the list of weapons, which coincides with the information previously published in the Estonian media: these are "dozens" of 155mm FH-70 and 122mm D-30 howitzers; thousands of 155mm artillery shells; hundreds of M2 Carl-Gustaf anti-tank systems with ammunition; and support equipment for artillery units.
The total amount of Estonian military aid to Ukraine has already exceeded 1% of Estonia's gross domestic product (GDP).
As reported, Denmark is giving Ukraine all 19 Caesar self-propelled howitzers, which it ordered for itself in France.
Latvia will send to Ukraine Stinger anti-aircraft missile systems, helicopters, machine guns with ammunition, and drones.
Finland also announced the allocation of a record aid package for Ukraine of €400 million. That's more than double the combined cost of the previous packages.
