Finland to send another package of defence materiel to Ukraine
Finland will deliver more defence materiel to Ukraine. The President of the Republic decided on the matter on 25 May 2023 on the proposal of the Government.
This is the 16th package of defence materiel to be delivered by Finland to Ukraine. It includes anti-aircraft weapons and ammunition, among other items. Replacing the defence materiel capabilities in this package will cost Finland an estimated EUR 109 million.
“Finland continues to support Ukraine together with our international partners. The total value of the defence materiel packages delivered by Finland to Ukraine is now EUR 1.1 billion,” says Minister of Defence Antti Kaikkonen.
For operational reasons and to ensure that the delivery reaches its destination, more detailed information on the content of the assistance, manner of delivery or schedule will not be provided.
Both Ukraine’s needs and the resources of the Defence Forces have been taken into account when deciding on the additional assistance.
