The government decided today to send #Estonia's biggest aid package of heavy weapons so far to #Ukraine.

#Russia also has huge manpower and will continue to mobilise hundreds of thousands.
It has also increased the workload and capacity of its industries – Russia is functioning at a wartime economy. 3/

Let's look into our stockpiles and ensure our industry produces more, faster. 4/

That price would be much-much higher for the whole world if aggression paid off.
