Members of the Estonian Parliament called for multi-year annual financial and military assistance in the amount of at least 0.25% of GDP to be allocated to Ukraine, the Estonian television and radio company ERR reports.

“Sixty-seven deputies of parliament submitted a draft statement in support of Ukraine, in which, among other things, they call for the annual allocation of military and financial assistance to Ukraine in the amount of at least 0.25% of GDP. The document on behalf of the deputies was presented to parliament on Wednesday by the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Commission, Marco Mihkelson,” the report says.

It is clarified that the deputies are calling on allies to make the supply of air defense systems and missiles to Ukraine a multi-year priority, to ensure constant and predictable supplies of military equipment, and to prepare critical supplies for the coming winter. The document also proposes to strengthen support for Ukrainian intelligence, accelerate investments in the production of drones, and in the development of weapons and military technologies.

The commission will consider the application at a meeting on September 17.
