Estonia Considers Sending Troops to Support Ukraine in Non-Combat Roles
MAY 14, 2024 15:07
Estonia’s government has engaged in “serious” discussions regarding sending troops to western Ukraine. These forces would assume non-combat, logistical roles to free up Ukrainian soldiers for frontline combat, stated Estonian National Security Advisor Madis Roll.
Roll’s remarks followed statements from the head of Estonia’s Armed Forces, General Martin Herem, who previously said that there were internal military discussions months ago regarding the potential deployment of troops to western Ukraine for roles such as medical services, logistics, or air defense in certain western cities.
Madis Roll emphasized their preference for a NATO-led mission “to show broader combined strength and determination”. However, he left open the possibility of collaborating with a smaller coalition.
“Discussions are ongoing,” Security Advisor said. “We should be looking at all the possibilities. We shouldn’t have our minds restricted as to what we can do.” . . .

Russian general arrested on corruption charges
Yuri Kuznetsov becomes second ally of Sergei Shoigu detained in suspected purge in Putin reshuffle

The Russian defence ministry’s human resources chief has been arrested and accused of bribery in an apparent purge on allies of former minister Sergei Shoigu.
Lt Gen Yuri Kuznetsov was charged with accepting a particularly large bribe late on Monday evening, Russian Telegram channels reported.
It came hours after Vladimir Putin dismissed Mr Shoigu as minister of defence, in his most significant reshuffle since the full scale invasion of Ukraine began.
Three weeks earlier, Timur Ivanov, one of Mr Shoigu’s deputies, was arrested and charged with the same crime. . . .

Novocheboksarsk (chemical plant) is about 700 miles NE of Ukraine.
The train derailment is fairly close to Ukraine. Besides the fuel burned up instead of feeding the orcs' invasion (or the orcish economy) a significant railway will be out of service for several days, and workers who could be doing something worse will be tied up in clearing and repairing the railway line.
I'm going to speculate that Estonia's "serious" discussions mean that Estonia considers itself to be one of Putin's next targets of he gets some sort of success in Ukraine. IOW, Estonia would be acting preemptively. Such is my speculation, for which plus a Hamilton you could get a coffee and change at your favorite coffee place.
