Estonia has confirmed its plans to raise defence spending to “at least” 5% of GDP from 2026 in response to increasingly aggressive Russia.
The government said in a press release that it would push for changes to be implemented next year, recording a major jump from 3.43% GDP in the last Nato figures for 2024.
“Russia’s strategic goals have not changed in any way. The aggression of its eastern neighbour threatens all countries around it in Europe and Nato included,” the country’s prime minister Kristen Michal was quoted as saying.
