Finland will provide Ukraine with its 32nd military aid package worth around €43 million.
According to the Finnish Ministry of Defense, the decision was made on Thursday by President Alexander Stubb based on a government proposal.
The aid package will include, among other things, equipment purchased from Finland’s defense industry as part of the programme supporting Ukraine.
Overall, according to the Finnish Ministry of Defense, Finland has already supplied Ukraine with military equipment worth €3.2 billion.
“Finland will continue to support Ukraine by delivering defence materiel as planned. Besides our own support packages, we are also involved in several capability coalitions to build and strengthen Ukraine’s own capabilities. We want to do our part to ensure that Ukraine has the right and ability to defend its nation and people,” Minister of Defence Antti Häkkänen said.
For operational reasons and safe delivery, the exact contents, delivery method, and schedule will not be disclosed. When preparing the aid, both Ukraine’s needs and the Finnish Defense Forces’ resource situation were taken into account, the statement emphasized.
