Finland is sending its 24th military aid package to Ukraine, the Ministry of Defence announced on Friday.
President Alexander Stubb approved the matter based on a government proposal, according to a ministry press release.
The value of the latest aid package is around 159 million euros, bringing Finland's overall support to Ukraine to 2.2 billion euros, the ministry said.
"Finland is committed to supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russia's unjustified attack. This is not only about Ukraine, but ultimately about the right of all free people to exist. Finns have learned from our own history how important this issue is," Defence Minister Antti Häkkänen (NCP) said in the release.
As in previous aid deliveries to Ukraine, Finland did not disclose the contents, method of delivery or the schedule of its latest military materiel package — due to operational concerns as well as to ensure it arrives safely, the ministry said.
The ministry also announced that Finland is taking part in a joint European procurement of ammunition for Ukraine.
The effort involves various European countries jointly acquiring defence materiel to send to Ukrainian defence forces — using the Czech Republic's supplier connections, the ministry explained.
The ministry's administrative branch received the funds needed to participate in the effort from the supplementary budget of 2024, the ministry said.
Additionally, Finland has decided to participate in a so-called armour coalition led by Poland, Germany and Italy. Finland is also to take part in an information technology coalition led by Estonia and Luxembourg. Both coalitions aim to support Ukraine in the long term, the defence ministry said.
