Estonia pushes for more arms for Ukraine

BBC World Service - Weekend, Estonia pushes for more arms for Ukraine

We speak to the Estonian Defence Minister on plans to replenish Ukraine’s ammunition.

As President Zelensky continues his calls for military aid, EU ministers prepare to meet to discuss sending more arms and ammunition to Ukraine. Estonia has started the ball rolling on a joint plan of action to restock Ukraine’s dwindling ammunition supplies. We speak to Estonia’s Defence Minister, Hanno Pevkur, about the scheme.

Also on the programme: The International Criminal Court issues an arrest warrant against Vladimir Putin, accusing him of ordering the forced deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia; and talks take place between Serbia and Kosovo to try to resolve a decades-old conflict.

Joining Audrey Brown to discuss all this and more are Bel Trew, the international correspondent for the UK's Independent newspaper, and Carne Ross, writer and former diplomat.
