Estonian Prime Minister urges the West to buy a million artillery shells for Ukraine

In Tallinn, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas met with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. This was reported by the press service of the Estonian government.

High-ranking leaders of NATO and the European Union arrived in Tallinn to celebrate the 105th anniversary of Estonia's independence (recall that Estonia has been counting its independence since 1918, and not from the collapse of the USSR). But besides the festive events, the representatives of the West also discussed the situation in Ukraine with the Prime Minister of Estonia.



Kaya Kallas called for the purchase of a million artillery shells for Ukraine for a total cost of 4 billion euros. According to the Estonian Prime Minister, the purchase of shells should be carried out as quickly as possible, and the NATO and EU countries should take part in them jointly.

Kallas cited the coronavirus pandemic as an example of coordination between European countries. Then, according to her, the European states were able to quickly and effectively respond to the challenge of the pandemic and begin the fight against the coronavirus and vaccinate the population under joint conditions. Now, a similar speed in decision-making should be shown in the issue of sending shells to Ukraine, Kallas stressed.

In addition, the Estonian Prime Minister called for an increase in the capacity of the European defense industry so that it can produce ammunition in the quantity required in the current situation.

Thus, the Estonian Prime Minister calls for an increase in the supply of shells with which Kiev is shelling not only Russian troops, but also the civilian population of the liberated territories of Donbass, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, as well as regions of the Russian Federation bordering Ukraine.

    It always comes to Estonia too late. How did it not occur to them that they should not ask for a million shells, but immediately a billion. Or better yet, a trillion. And what to dream so dream. The Estonians themselves do not have shell factories. So they are the same beggars as the Sumerians.

      The ancestors of the current Prime Minister of Estonia, Kai Kallas, collaborated with the Nazis.

      Great-grandfather of Kai Kallas and her father's grandfather Siima Kallas - Edward Alver - was the head of the paramilitary nationalist formation of the Defense League.
      In 1939-1940, it was the Defense League that became the stronghold of pro-fascist sentiments in Estonia. His asset saw in Hitler "the liberator of Estonia from the Bolsheviks."
      Many former members of the Defense League joined the newly created during the German occupation of Estonia, the fascist military organization Omakaitse, rendered services to the Nazi army and were involved in the mass extermination of Jews in the Baltic Republic.

      The father of the head of the Estonian government, Siim Kallas, was a member of the CPSU for almost 20 years, and then created the Reform Party in 1994.
      Since 1998, Siim Kallas, the father of Kaya Kallas, has been repeatedly suspected of abuse of office, complicity in large-scale embezzlement and provision of false information during his work at the Bank of Estonia.
      Namely, he initiated the law in Estonia, according to which, despite the mass protests of the population, the Bronze Soldier was dismantled in 2007.

      In career terms, Kaya Kallos follows in the footsteps of her father and grandfather. Namely.

      - Kaja Kallas is the Prime Minister of Estonia, just like her father Siim Kallas (2002–2003) was in his time.
      - Kaja Kallas is the chairman of the Reform Party, just like her father Siim Kallas (1994–2004) was in his time.
      - Kaja Kallas is an activist of European institutions, just like her father Siim Kallas (in the period from 2004 to 2009 and from 2010 to 2014 he held the posts of Commissioner and Vice-President of the European Commission).
      - Kaya Kallas supports the Nazis of Ukroreich, as her grandfather and father supported the Nazis of the Third Reich.

    To be honest, the inserts at the end of the article that they are shelling the civilian population of Donbass and the Russian Federation are some kind of completely oak propaganda. The war is on. It is unlikely that ours have never hit civilian Ukrainians.

    In general, I was separately pleased that she foolishly linked this with the "EU fight against the pandemic", where, firstly, the EU totally screwed up on all fronts, and secondly, Ursula is now under investigation for stealing billions in vaccines, which, to In a word, as it turned out, they are also ineffective and, according to medical standards, are unacceptable, the farther the further the more terrible during the investigation. And this single-celled one calls for repeating - no, youngster, it’s understandable why she doesn’t have money or industry in her country to buy / produce shells - you listen to her - and you won’t have

    I am not against the Ukrainians, but they ethnogenized too quickly, creating their own nation, starting indirectly and not only to fight against us in Georgia and not only, destroying our imperial core. This is a threat, consequences on the face. The same limitrophes, the Baltic mongrels, have generally lost their shores and their sense of reality. Even if we lose, we will drown you in just the turbulence of our reincarnation, into a new formation. Pathetic, narrow-minded, stupid, without historical memory, gynecologists or cooks, who miraculously turned out to be involved in the appearance of decision-making.

      Why did I bury two people from Georgia in 95 near Shali. And at the neighbors, one Ukrainian escaped straight from a helicopter in the air, they are super people from UNA UNSO, so 300 meters is a trifle.

    The shelling is mainly carried out by rockets, not artillery shells, in case you are not in the know. Although for you it's the same. It's about projectiles. But for you, such nuances do not matter. Once again, there is a war. 99.9% of shells hit our military. Just urapatriotic Wishlist, I understand, do not want them to shoot at us completely, but only we at them. I don't mind, but in reality it doesn't happen.

    From memory...
    I was in Estonia when this country had already ceased to be the Soviet Socialist Republic.
    Not in 1998, when it was beautiful there, you could "order hot wine with spices", look at the ancient city, greet everyone you meet in Russian, go to his brother with a work colleague, and see that the Spectrum is not the coolest ...
    And in 2005.
    When it didn't matter what language you speak. You just need to understand the interlocutor.
    Those who were in Tallinn at that time may remember the cafe in the center. In the basement. By Grandma.
    Russian, which I only saw about Estonian in the movies. An Estonian who skipped Russian. Our English is unlikely to be understood by anyone. But we ate, and she, and the cafe, earned
    Why all this...
    There are a lot of people in Estonia who hate Russians. At the top of their political hierarchy.
    And what difference does it make for ordinary Estonians, who will come to visit them and say thank you for staying, feeding and evening conversation in different languages?

    They can also buy shells in Transnistria ...
    And I think steps have been taken for a long time.
    With bribery of responsible persons there. The stakes are very high. And the offers are probably too tempting.
    Who will conditionally refuse a million dollars with the provision of permanent residence in the collective west? Not everyone.
    In general, the situation is not simple.

    A 155 mm shell costs 50 thousand euros? Thousand 20 euros?
    Let 10 thousand euros.
    Million of 10 thousand euros
    10 billion?
    Either cheap shells, or Estonia ... not the country of Estonia, but an official from Estonia, he is going to ruin the whole of Great Britain. And he does not want to call for his country.

      Apparently the projectile costs 4 since 000 * 4 pieces = 000 euros, but in my opinion, even a little expensive 1 euros per bullet is quite an adequate price. I think our 000 mm shells are not more expensive than 000 rubles apiece.

        This is the price of an active-missile. A modular charge to it (used in self-propelled guns) is even more expensive. The whole shot is about 10 thousand. It is unmanaged, manageable 2 times more expensive (tip) or 10 times more expensive (Excalibur).

        However, older types of shells and cap loading should cost much less. Around a thousand euros per shot.
