Finland to send Ukraine a new military aid package

Today, on June 28, Finnish President Alexander Stubb supported the government's proposal to allocate another package of military aid to Ukraine.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the website of the Ministry of Defense of Finland.

It is noted that this will be the 24th batch of military aid from Finland to Ukraine. The details of the package were not disclosed, but it is noted that it will cost Helsinki about 159 million euros ($170 million).

Since the beginning of the full-scale war on the territory of Ukraine, Finland has provided our country with 2.2 billion euros (2.35 billion dollars) in aid.

"Finland is committed to supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russia's unjustified aggression. It is not only about Ukraine, but also about the right of all free peoples to a decent existence. We, the Finns, have learned from our own history how important this issue is," said Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen.

The Ministry of Defense also said that Finland has allocated the necessary funds in the first draft of amendments to the budget for 2024 to participate in the Czech initiative to jointly purchase ammunition for Ukraine.
