A million shells for the Armed Forces: Estonia will send to Ukraine ammunition 155 mm caliber
At a meeting on April 20, the Estonian Government supported the idea of Defense Minister Hanno Pecura to send 155 mm artillery ammunition to Kiev as part of the EU Agreement on the Sending Ukraine of a million shells. This was reported in the Estonia Ministry of Defense. "Estonia's initiative to send a million shells to Ukraine at an unprecedented speed has passed through EU institutes. Now the quick decisions of European allies are needed so that these shells really get to Ukraine.
After a major and fast political step, the next one is sending to Ukraine, which we do," Said Mour. In addition, Estonia transfers free night vision devices and ammunition to small arms free of charge. "Tomorrow I will also meet with the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexei Reznikov in the fields of Ramstin, with whom we will discuss how and what else Estonia can help Ukraine," the official assured.
Estonian Tsakhkn's Foreign Minister, in communication with the ERR portal, spoke about controversial moments for the supply of ammunition from the EC. According to him, the parties may not agree on some issues before the meeting of Ramstein defense ministers. "What managed to negotiate in Europe on the initiative of Estonia on the provision of 1 million artillery shells for 12 months is a great achievement.
The technical side is in question, because the mechanism of production of shells is difficult," the Foreign Minister commented. It should be reminded that Politico wrote about a conflict between France and Poland through the receipt of joint EU contracts for the purchase of ammunition for the Armed Forces. Eurozone countries should use the total budget to transfer the shells to Kiev and differences relate to how to spend money.
