Finland will send the 24th batch of military aid to Ukraine.
The President of Finland, Alexander Stubb, made such a decision on June 28, following a government proposal.
It was reported on the website of the Ministry of Defense of Finland.
The details of the package are not disclosed, but it is noted that it will cost Finland approximately EUR 159 million.
In total, since the beginning of the full-scale war, Finland has provided our country with the aid in the amount of EUR 2.2 billion.
"Finland is committed to supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russia's unjustified aggression. This is not only about Ukraine, but ultimately about the right of all free peoples to exist. We Finns have learned from our own history how important this issue is," states Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen .
In addition, in the first project of amendments to the budget for 2024, Finland allocated the necessary funds to participate in the Czech initiative on joint procurement of ammunition for Ukraine.
Recall that earlier Finland allowed Ukraine to use Finnish weapons to hit objects in the russian federation.
Meanwhile, the security agreement with the EU provides for EUR 5 billion in military aid to Ukraine in 2024.
