  1. Estonia has been “seriously” discussing sending troops to Ukraine in roles positioned away from the front lines, per a national security official.

    Madis Roll, national security advisor to Estonia’s president, told military news outlet [Breaking Defense](https://breakingdefense.com/2024/05/estonia-seriously-discussing-sending-troops-to-rear-jobs-in-ukraine-official/) that his country’s leaders were assessing the viability of sending Estonian soldiers to “rear” roles that wouldn’t see direct combat in Ukraine.

    Such a move would help relieve [Ukraine’s manpower crunch](https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraines-manpower-problem-could-get-worse-before-it-gets-better-2024-5) and allow it to send more soldiers to the front lines.

    And while Estonia, a North Atlantic Treaty Organization country, prefers to act together with the alliance’s major members, it’s also not closed to the idea of jumping in with a smaller group of allies, Roll said.

  2. Estonia stepping up with specialists in the field would be a big contribution right now.

  5. Do it. No one wants to be first, but others will follow and it will send the much-needed message to Russia, that they can keep wasting men, resources, and money, but they will have no further success in Ukraine.

  6. This is fake news. Im estonian and it was confirmed to be not true

  7. First step is hard, then maybe others will do the same!

  8. Good to hear. Especially in light of Solovyov and Simonyan’s comments about Kaja Kallas and her country recently. They’re openly claiming that many European countries are “occupying land that doesn’t rightfully belong to them.”
