Estonian Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur said in an interview with RBC-Ukraine that the Ukrainian army has been able to adapt well to waging a real war and has become a champion in using a combination of different types of weapons.

The Ukrainian army shows an example of adapting and learning to use new weapons. You have a lot of military equipment and you have to adapt to use it," Pevkur said.

He noted that the Ukrainian defenders in practice showed their ability to mobilise, conduct tactical operations and were able to quickly learn new weapons.

If you compare a Ukrainian soldier trained in Western countries with a Russian prisoner, you obviously have a better quality of training," he said.

This advantage could be a path to success in the war, he says, but it is important to remember that Russia has many more soldiers.

Therefore, the Ukrainian military should be better equipped, better trained and better motivated," he added.
