By GlobalDataCoinciding with the US’ tranche, the UK, Estonia, Poland, Latvia, Denmark, Lithuania the Netherlands, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic have also extended additional military aid packages for Ukraine.
According to a joint statement by the defence ministers of the nine international partners, the countries will continue to provide ‘an unprecedented set of donations’, comprising air defence, main battle tanks, IFVs, heavy artillery and ammunition, for Ukraine.
The UK has already committed to donate AS90 guns and Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine. It is further planning to donate 600 Brimstone anti-tank munitions, GMLRS rockets, Starstreak missiles, and equipment support for repairing Ukrainian vehicles.
The new €113m package from Estonia will include 155mm FH-70 and 122mm D-30 howitzers, Carl-Gustaf M2 grenade launchers, ammunition, and artillery support equipment. This will bring Estonia’s support for Ukraine to €370m, which is slightly more than 1% of Estonia’s gross domestic product.
In addition, Denmark’s government has decided to donate all 19 Caesar artillery systems to Ukraine.
