Finland to send more defence materiel assistance to Ukraine

Finland will send more defence materiel to Ukraine. The President of the Republic decided on the matter on 21 December 2023 on the proposal of the Government.

This will be the 21st package of defence materiel to Ukraine. Replacement of the capabilities contained in this package will cost Finland an estimated EUR 106 million. 

Finland is committed to supporting Ukraine in the short and long term. - The total value of the defence materiel packages delivered by Finland to Ukraine is now EUR 1.6 billion, says Minister of Defence Antti Häkkänen

For operational reasons, and to ensure that the assistance will reach its destination safely, further details on the content of the package, the way it is to be delivered or the schedule will not be given. Both Ukraine’s needs and the resources of the Defence Forces have been taken into account when deciding on additional assistance.
