Estonia Calls for Strong European Security GuaranteesDefense Minister Pevkur highlights Estonia’s military readiness with 44,000 troops and urges Germany to lead EU security efforts by 2029.

- Ukrainian forces are to be further equipped and trained, with European troops deployed only after a ceasefire is established.
- Estonia maintains a 44,000-strong army and plans to allocate over five percent of GDP to defense for the foreseeable future.
- A robust Germany is seen as essential to lead Europe and demonstrate strength against Russia.
We need a strong Germany that shows Russia what it can do.— Hanno Pevkur, Estonia's Minister of Defense, in an interview about the necessity of a strong German role in Europe against Russia.
