Finnish President Alexander Stubb has given the green light to the nation's 35th military aid package for Ukraine, amounting to roughly €1 million, in response to a governmental suggestion. Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen disclosed that Finland had expedited the decision to address Ukraine's pressing needs. Häkkänen emphasized, "Finland has accelerated this decision to meet Ukraine’s urgent request.
We will not turn a blind eye to the difficult situation Ukrainians are facing. Instead, we will support Ukraine and continue delivering material assistance." The Ministry of Defense revealed that the package comprises one type of defense equipment, sourced from Finland's military reserves. However, specific details about the equipment were withheld to maintain operational security.
Finland has already initiated preparations for its subsequent, more substantial military aid package, according to the ministry. The cumulative value of defense matériel provided by Finland to Ukraine has now reached around €3.6 billion. In September, Finland sanctioned its 34th military aid package for Ukraine, valued at approximately €290 million.
