Estonia Readies Military Personnel for Deployment to Ukraine, Led by Prime Minister Michal
Estonia's got its combat boots on, ready to march its troops to Ukraine as part of the "coalition of the willing." That's the word from Prime Minister Kristen Michal, according to ERR news outlet.
Michal asserts, "Ukraine's security is Europe's security. A Ukraine that's independent, sovereign, and stands strong within the European family is our best bet against Moscow's imperialistic ambitions. We've gotta back our good thoughts with some muscle."
Before the soldiers set foot in Ukraine, the government will request a mandate from the Riigikogu, or Estonia's parliament. Tallinn still believes Ukraine joining NATO would be the ultimate protection for Ukraine's security.
The unit? Around 150 fighters, give or take. Journalists point out that this company can range from 50 to 250 military personnel.
Previously, The Times reported a change of heart from the European countries making up the "coalition of the willing." Apparently, the UK and France, heading up the coalition, are scared stiff that Russia might not like the idea of Western peacekeepers patrolling Ukraine.
Want some extra deets? This company will pack a punch, including a combat unit, training instructors, and staff officers. They're aiming to keep the peace and support any future ceasefire in Ukraine. Estonia's not alone in this initiative, either: France, the UK, and a few other countries are right there with her to help Ukraine stand strong against Russian aggression.
This initiative highlights Estonia's unwavering support for Ukraine's sovereignty and its integration into the European community as a strategic move against Russian imperialism.
