Alliance governments fear Moscow is planning an invasion, which Russian officials have denied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Estonia is donating an unspecified amount of Javelin anti-tank missiles, while Latvia and Lithuania are providing Stinger anti-aircraft missiles and related equipment, according to the statement. The U.S. government, as the weapons\u2019 country of origin, approved the transfer, it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cToday Ukraine is at the forefront of separating Europe from the military conflict with Russia,\u201d Estonian Defence Minister Kalle Laanet said. \u201cLet\u2019s face it: The war in Ukraine is ongoing and it is important to support Ukraine in every way we can so that they can resist the aggressor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Formerly under Soviet Union rule, the Baltic nations are wary of Russian attempts at recreating a sphere of influence reminiscent of Cold War geography. The three countries became NATO members in 2004, putting them under the alliance\u2019s mutual-protection umbrella that candidate nation Ukraine does not formally enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cToday we have all the necessary approvals from the U.S. to send the weapons,\u201d Laanet said. \u201cWith this we show that we support Ukraine not only with words but also with deeds. The allies are united, but there is always a need for those who show initiative. Estonia is definitely one of those countries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Estonia has a separate request pending to send another set of its weapons to Ukraine: decades-old Soviet howitzers. The artillery pieces were fielded by East Germany, absorbed into the German arsenal after reunification and given to Finland before ending up in Estonia. That means Berlin and Helsinki must approve a transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of Friday evening, the German government had yet to decide on the issue. A Defence Ministry spokesman told Defense News the question is now the subject of an interagency review and must be coordinated with the Finnish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A reporter\u2019s question about an expected timeline was left unanswered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Germany so far has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2022\/01\/19\/germany-holds-its-ground-on-denying-weapons-for-ukraine\/\">stuck to its guns<\/a> in rejecting support to Ukraine through lethal equipment, though the matter has become the subject of heated debate in policy circles there. Still, leaders in Berlin have assured Kyiv of their backing, vowing to work through diplomatic means to resolve the standoff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Baltic states
