„The US initiative in this security crisis has been strong and in addition to supporting Ukraine, their support also extends to those countries that have supported Ukraine. The approval of another supplemental package of military financing, which includes the Baltic region, clearly shows the dedication of the US to the NATO principles of collective defence – not just in words, but also in action,“ commented Minister of Defence Hanno Pevkur.
The financing is part of a comprehensive package of defence aid, which the US has directed towards raising the defence capabilities of Ukraine as well as the NATO eastern flank countries. The US has supported various defence development projects in Estonia, with the past five years’ support for procurement and infrastructure projects totalling 228 mln USD. Previous support has gone towards replenishing stocks of large calibre ammunition.
