For Estonia, Ukraine's NATO membership would be the strongest security guarantee in the long term. NATO itself would also benefit from this. Estonia intends to continue comprehensive support for Ukraine, which is repelling Russian aggression, and sees Ukraine's accession to NATO as its strongest security guarantee, said Prime Minister Kristen Michal. He tests our unity with hybrid attacks and tries to divert our attention from Ukraine to other issues. He wants us to focus on our problems and grow weary of supporting Ukraine. We will not let that happen. According to Michal’s explanation, supporting Ukraine is part of Estonia's own security, as Russia's goals have not changed. Estonia will continue to provide military support to Ukraine, this year aid will constitute 0.28 percent of GDP. Last year it was 0.35 percent. We have contributed 21 million euros to NATO's PURL initiative, and today, as Mark [Rutte] came here, I am pleased to announce a new contribution of 10 million euros to the PURL program. Ukraine needs more weapons, especially more effective air defense. Our task is to help it withstand Russia's brutal attacks. At the same time, we learn from Ukraine every day. Ukraine's experience is invaluable for developing our own defense capabilities and defense industry, and we look further. When we talk about the Baltic Sea, everyone can look at the Strait of Hormuz and imagine what would happen here if Russia attacked us. So [they] can connect those dots. #Ukraina #NATO #julgeolek (translated)
