Estonia’s Minister of Defense Hanno Pevkur has warned that Berlin will be next if the Baltic countries fall. The country is buying new military equipment, such as HIMARS, howitzers, armoured vehicles, and drones, which benefits Europe. Pevkur believes that the right conclusions need to be drawn from the war in Ukraine. Defense spending will rise above 3% for the next few years, as Estonia must do everything to prevent a Russian attack. Estonia is one of Ukraine’s biggest supporters and has accepted tens of thousands of refugees. Prime Minister Kaja Kallas and Minister of Foreign Affairs Margus Tsahkna have also expressed concern that Europe will get tired of helping Kyiv. „We have to take the opportunity to get rid of this aggressive regime,” said Tsahkna.
Tsahkna believes that Ukraine is fighting for Estonia and that it is time to end Russia’s aggression and push Russia back to its borders. He said he is ready to fight, as he has seen for centuries that ‘nothing good comes from the East.’
