Estonia to send sniper weapons and special equipment to Ukraine

On Thursday, members of the government backed the proposal by Minister of Defence Hanno Pevkur to send another package of military assistance to Ukraine, this time consisting of, among other things, sniper weapons and special forces equipment, announced the Ministry of Defence of Estonia.

“Yesterday, during the Ramstein format meeting with our allies, we discussed the current state of aid to Ukraine, and it is clear that there is no time left to lose in supporting Ukraine. Our major initiative is aimed at the joint procurement of a million artillery shells by the European Union, but smaller, precisely targeted aid packages must also be continued. Hence today’s decision to direct this aid package, as a continuation of the previous one, specifically at special forces equipment and snipers,” said Minister of Defence Hanno Pevkur.
