Estonia will supply Ukraine with Anti-Tank weapons

The Estonian Defense Ministry is considering supplying the Ukrainian military with Javelin anti-tank missiles and 122-millimeter howitzers amid heightened tensions with Russia.

Defense Ministry official Peeter Kuimet told national television and radio station ERR that Estonia is planning to increase support for its ally since Russian troops have been conducting more military exercises on its border with Ukraine.

“We have supported the training of Ukrainian sappers, special forces, military medics, artillerymen, and have exchanged information since 2014…” he stated, as quoted by Interfax. “The Ministry of Defense has made a decision in principle to support Ukraine with weapons and ammunition in the current difficult security situation.”

Kuimet revealed that Estonia has received Javelin missiles and howitzers from other nations and plans to pass some of them along before they age and require more maintenance.
