Russia's invasion of Ukraine has triggered a surge in military spending. Western countries are stepping up to assist Ukraine in its time of need and respond to the threat of an increasingly aggressive Russia.

As a result, the Baltic State of Estonia has massively ramped up defence spending and is currently Ukraine's most generous donor in GDP terms. According to the latest update of the Kiel Support Tracker, which monitors aid to Ukraine, Estonia has devoted over 1.6% of its GDP to help the war-torn nation.
