Speaking on the sidelines of the Halifax International Security Forum, Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur called for investment in the Ukrainian military industry. Source: The Hill Details: Pevkur called for a new boost in financing Ukraine’s own military production, noting that “Ukrainians produce six to seven times more howitzers per year than are produced, for example, in France.” Direct language: “Their industry is really ramping up production. It is capable of producing military equipment worth about 30 billion dollars a year, but currently it can spend only 15. This means that the Ukrainian industry has twice as much capacity. Therefore, when you have nothing to give from your own stocks, give them money is a simple message.” Details: Pevkur said Ukraine’s surprise invasion of Russia’s Kursk region in August was a missed opportunity to increase support for Kyiv. “During the Kursk counteroffensive, there was a huge momentum in this war, but then the Ukrainians did not have enough equipment and firepower to advance even further,” he said.
