Finland to send 25th defence materiel package to Ukraine

Finland will send its 25th package of defence materiel to Ukraine worth about EUR 118 million, said the Ministry of Defence in a press release.

The President on Friday took the decision on the proposal of the government in this regard.

With this, Finland has now delivered defence materiel to Ukraine to a total value of EUR 2.3 billion.

"Developments in the war in Ukraine continue to be serious. As promised, Finland will continue to provide material assistance. Our message to partner countries is that we must not give up," said Minister of Defence Antti Häkkänen.

For operational reasons, and to ensure that the delivery reaches its destination safely, more detailed information on the content of the assistance, the way it is delivered or schedule will not be disclosed.

Both Ukraine's needs and the resources of the Defence Forces have been taken into account when deciding on the additional assistance.
