Estonia will allocate 0.25% of its GDP to Ukraine’s defense for the next four years

Estonia will continue to provide military aid to Ukraine in the amount of 0.25% of its gross domestic product for the next four years.

This was stated by Prime Minister Kaya Kallas, ERR reports.

“Estonia’s contribution to Ukraine’s victory will be 0.25% of GDP over the next four years. If each country contributes 0.25%, this is what Ukraine needs to win this war,” she emphasized and called on Europe, North America and other countries to follow suit.

Since 2022, Estonia has provided Ukraine with military assistance worth almost 500 million euros. As Kallas noted, it is also necessary for the security of their country.

In addition, in the coming years, Estonia will also allocate 14 million euros per year for joint actions for the restoration of Ukraine and related solutions.

Callas noted that many people are used to war, and in democratic countries, public opinion slows down decision-making.

She believes that it is necessary to conduct consistent explanatory work in different countries on why it is important to support Ukraine.
