Estonia wants to produce for Ukraine military products per 100 million euros annually

Estonia has decided to leave funds in the economy of her country. According to the Defense Minister Hanno Mikur, negotiations are currently underway about what the Armed Forces need and what the defense industry of Tallinn can produce. In 2024, the Estonian state sent Ukraine assistance to weapons worth about one hundred million euros, which is 0. 25 percent of the country's GDP.

In the following years, the amount of money will remain at the existing level, but the assistance vector will change, ERR reports. The Estonia Government, as it is noted, has decided to leave funds in the economy of its country.

"We said to Ukraine that we would give what we produce, and we will clearly direct this money to the Estonia economy, in the defensive industry of Estonia," said Defense Minister Hanno, Miking, adding that negotiations with the Ukrainian side about official Tallinn's possibilities are currently underway. According to Pevkur, the defense industry of Estonia could produce a wide range of products for more than 100 million euros a year.

However, he said, it is necessary to first find out the exact needs of the Armed Forces. "We have given Ukraine the opportunities that are in Estonia, and now we are trying to find a smart compromise that takes into account their priorities and our production capabilities," Makur said, adding that the Ukrainians have already been satisfied with help. Focus wrote that Denmark will provide Ukraine with about $ 628 million to purchase military equipment from domestic manufacturers.
