Finland hoists flag marking Ukrainian Independence Day

The Government will hoist the Ukrainian flag on Saturday at Senate Square in front of the Government Palace and at Martti Ahtisaari Square in the courtyard of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs’ main building Merikasarmi, which will also be illuminated in blue and yellow in the evening, said a government press release.

The Finnish flag will be flown from the flagpoles above the Government Palace and Merikasarmi.

The Government wants to show its support for and solidarity with Ukraine, which is fighting for its independence and territorial integrity.

Finland is supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s war of aggression in many ways.

Finland has provided more than EUR 3 billion in support to Ukraine since February 2022 and will continue its unwavering support for as long as necessary.
