Ukraine to receive more defence materiel from Finland
Finland will deliver more defence materiel to Ukraine. The President of the Republic decided on the matter, on the proposal of the Government, on 13 September 2024.
This will be the 25th package of defence materiel to Ukraine. The estimated cost of replacing the capabilities included in the package is around EUR 118 million. Finland has now delivered defence materiel to Ukraine to a total value of EUR 2.3 billion.
"Developments in the war in Ukraine continue to be serious. As promised, Finland will continue to provide material assistance. Our message to partner countries is that we must not give up," says Minister of Defence Antti Häkkänen.
For operational reasons, and to ensure that the delivery reaches its destination safely, more detailed information on the content of the assistance, the way it is delivered or schedule will not be provided.
Both Ukraine's needs and the resources of the Defence Forces have been taken into account when deciding on the additional assistance.
