Estonia wants to supply Ukraine with cluster munitions, but needs permission from Germany - ERR
Estonia wants to transfer cluster munitions to Ukraine, but this requires consent from its manufacturer, Germany
As informs Censor.NЕТ, it was reported by LEAGUE referring to ERR.
The journalists emphasized that the information about Estonia's intention to provide Ukraine with cluster munitions, which was previously reported by AFP with reference to its sources, has now been confirmed by Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur.
"Estonia has decided to provide Ukraine with 155-millimeter artillery ammunition. I do not consider it necessary to talk about the details of the agreements between the armed forces of Estonia and Ukraine, in particular, the number and range of ammunition. If we provide Ukraine with cluster munitions, I don't see any problems here, as both sides are already using such ammunition on the territory of Ukraine," Pevkur said.
Reportedly, more than 100 countries have joined the Convention on the Prohibition and Non-Proliferation of such munitions, but Estonia and Ukraine are not among them (as are the United States, Russia, China, Israel, South Korea, and other countries). Estonia now has cluster munitions that were once purchased in Germany, but Berlin has now abandoned the production and use of such munitions.
In Estonia, German-made cluster munitions have remained since the 1990s.
