Joint security commitments between Ukraine and Estonia, signed in Brussels on Thursday between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, provide for Estonia to allocate more than EUR 100 million in defense assistance to Kyiv this year and a variety of support during the ten-year validity period of the document.

In accordance with the document, as stated on the website of the head of the Ukrainian state, the Estonian government will also allocate at least 0.25% of GDP annually during 2024-2027 for military support of Ukraine.

The document sets out individual components of long-term military assistance to Ukraine, in particular, the types of weapons that Estonia provides, namely: artillery (122 mm and 155 mm caliber howitzers), anti-tank missile systems, rockets and mines, Carl Gustaf rifles, grenade launchers, unmanned systems and electronic warfare equipment.

Ukraine and Estonia will initiate a regular Strategic Dialogue to discuss security and defense issues of both countries. The agreement also stipulates issues of cooperation on the supply of weapons and military equipment, training, the activities of the IT coalition and other coalitions of opportunities, as well as in-depth cooperation in the field of the defense-industrial complex.
