Denmark's recent decision to send all its ammunition to Ukraine will inspire other countries to make similar decisions, states Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas.
She noted that Western countries cannot afford to waste time, as Ukraine urgently needs help with weapons.
"I hope that Denmark's recent decision to send all its ammunition to Ukraine will inspire others. We also need to see what help we can get on the world market, as the Czechs have already done," said the head of the Estonian government.
She reminded that over the next four years, Estonia will allocate 0.25% of its GDP to military support for Ukraine.
"Estonia's long-term military support for Ukraine over the next four years will amount to 0.25% of our GDP. We call on all other states supporting Ukraine to make a similar commitment. I am pleased that this proposal is gaining support among allies and partners," Kallas said.
She also emphasized that unity is the strongest currency.
"Together we can help Ukraine win this war. We have the resources, the economic power, and the knowledge. Our strength is stronger than Russia's and we should not be afraid of our own strength," she added.
Military aid to Ukraine from Denmark
Recently, Denmark decided to transfer all artillery from its reserves to Ukraine. It also called on partners to increase arms supplies to Ukraine.
On February 22, the Danish government announced a new package of military aid to Ukraine worth almost $250 million.
During President Zelenskyy's meeting with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, the issue of joint defense production was discussed. Ukraine and Denmark agreed to hold a bilateral defense industry forum, as well as an investment forum.
Meanwhile, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas called on other countries to transfer aid to Ukraine from their warehouses.
Estonian Defense Minister Martin Herem said that some changes on the front in Ukraine may be seen in the second half of 2024.
