Estonia has prepared a new military aid package for Ukraine, which will include short-range Mistral air defense systems and missiles for them, Estonian Defense Ministry announced on June 11.

“We have developed the aid package to be as beneficial as possible for Ukraine while not compromising the combat capability of the Estonian Defense Forces,” Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur said.

“This will allow us to replenish necessary stockpiles as quickly as possible.”

The exact quantity of the weaponry is not disclosed for security reasons, the ministry noted.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
