The Estonian government on Tuesday, June 11, announced the transfer of new aid to Ukraine. The package will contain launchers and missiles for the Mistral anti-aircraft missile systems. These weapons will strengthen Ukrainian air defense. This was reported by the Estonian Ministry of Defense.

Ukraine urgently needs air defense to counter ongoing Russian aggression, and it is in Estonia’s security interests to contribute to this effort together with its allies, said Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur.

According to him, the assistance package is designed in such a way that it is of maximum benefit to Ukraine, without jeopardizing the combat capability of the Estonian Defense Forces.

The exact amounts of assistance are not disclosed for security reasons.

As you know, Estonia was one of the first countries to provide assistance to Ukraine. The Ukrainian military received from the country Javelin anti-tank missiles, howitzers, artillery ammunition, anti-tank mines, anti-tank grenade launchers, mortars, vehicles, communications equipment, and field hospitals. In addition, a variety of humanitarian assistance was provided to the Estonian authorities.

Let us recall that on June 7, the United States of America announced the provision of a military assistance package to Ukraine in the amount of $225 million. The defense forces will receive, in particular, missiles for HAWK air defense systems, Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, ammunition for HIMARS, 155-mm howitzers, M113 armored personnel carriers, Javelin and AT-4 anti-tank systems and various types of ammunition.
