Estonia is ready to send a company of soldiers to Ukraine as part of the "coalition of the willing." This was announced on April 30 by the country's Prime Minister Kristen Michal.

"Estonia is ready to contribute by providing a combat unit of the ground forces with up to a company, training instructors and staff officers," the Estonian government website says.

The Prime Minister noted that the country needs to show that it can back up its intentions with actions.

In addition, Michal added that before sending the soldiers, the government intends to obtain an appropriate mandate from the Riigikogu (Parliament of Estonia). He also stressed that Tallinn still considers granting Ukraine membership in NATO to be the best guarantee of its security.

On February 23, Michal announced Estonia's transfer of a new military aid package to Ukraine, which will include 10,000 artillery shells and food packages for soldiers. He indicated that as soon as possible, the Estonian defense industry's own products worth over €100 million will be added.
