She noted that Western countries cannot waste time, because Ukraine needs urgent assistance with weapons.

"I hope that Denmark's recent decision to send all its ammunition to Ukraine will inspire others. We also need to see what help we can get on the world market, as the Czechs have already done," said the Estonian Prime Minister.

She reminded that over the next four years, Estonia will allocate 0.25% of the country's GDP for military support to Ukraine.

"Estonia's long-term military support for Ukraine over the next four years will amount to 0.25% of our GDP. We call on all other states that support Ukraine to make a similar commitment. I am glad that this proposal finds support among allies and partners," Kallas said.

She also emphasized that unity is "the strongest currency".

"Together we can help Ukraine win this war. We have resources, economic power, and knowledge. Our troops are stronger than Russia's, and we should not be afraid of our own strength," she added.
