Finland to deliver more defence materiel to Ukraine

Finland will deliver its 26th materiel assistance package to Ukraine. The President of the Republic decided on the matter on 5 December 2024 on the proposal of the Government.

Replacing the defence materiel capabilities in this package will cost Finland an estimated EUR 25 million. The defence administration is already preparing the next assistance package to be delivered early next year.

"Finland has now delivered defence materiel to Ukraine to a total value of EUR 2.3 billion. This time the package contains winter equipment for Ukrainian troops, for example. Finland is one of Ukraine's strongest supporters, and we have no plans to change that," Minister of Defence Antti Häkkänen says.

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 Finnish Defence Forces have been taken into account when deciding on the additional assistance.
