Estonia may contribute a company of soldiers to a potential peace-keeping mission in Ukraine as part of a “reassurance force” led by the UK and France, Prime Minister Kristen Michal said.

Discussions that may lead to forming a deterrence force in Ukraine are still ongoing, Michal said in a statement on Wednesday. Any Estonian deployment would need to be approved by the nation’s parliament.
