Ukraine to get 90% of drones under planned Finnish production deal, Finland’s president says
Three Finnish defense firms signed letters of intent in Kyiv this week, and Stubb says only the state-to-state framework is left to finish before the lines can start.
Finnish President Alexander Stubb announced on 26 August that Ukraine would receive approximately 90% of the drones manufactured in Finland under a planned Finland–Ukraine framework agreement, with the remaining 10% remaining in Finland. This arrangement follows a broader European trend towards co-production with Ukraine instead of supplying weapons from existing stockpiles.
Stubb emphasized that the agreement is more about cooperation between states, involving President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and himself, rather than a standard contract. The 90/10 ratio is a common practice in corporate contracts, and the pace of production will be determined by the companies after finalizing their decisions. Some details may remain classified due to military secrecy.
