Finland to provide a new package of financial aid for Ukraine

Helsinki, Finland (Svidomi) — The Ministry of Defence of Finland has provided the 22nd package of military aid to Ukraine worth 190 million euros.

The Finnish Ministry of Defence does not disclose the content of the assistance for security reasons. This package includes products purchased from Finnish manufacturers. Separate 30 million euros have been allocated for their procurement.

“At the national and broader level, it is necessary to find new ways to support Ukraine in the long term. Currently, we are preparing a long-term plan to support Ukraine,” stated the Minister of Defence of Finland, Antti Häkkänen.

In addition, Finland has decided to participate in artillery and demining coalitions operating within the framework of the Contact Group on Defence of Ukraine, a group that coordinates military assistance to Ukraine.

The total value of military equipment packages supplied by the country currently amounts to 1.8 billion euros. The assistance takes into account both the needs of Ukraine and the resource status of the Finnish defence forces.
