The government of Finland has announced another military aid package to Ukraine, which will be the 22nd since Russia’s first full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The Finnish government announced this.

The relevant decision was made by the President of Finland on February 9, 2024, on the proposal of the government. The new military aid package is worth approximately €190 million.

The total value of all aid packages delivered from Finland to Ukraine since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion is €1.8 billion.

The official announcement does not disclose the contents of the aid package or delivery details for security reasons.

“There is a lot of know-how in the domestic industry, and we are working in the defense ministry to ensure that this know-how and potential can be used more effectively to support Ukraine. One example of this is our domestic ammunition production,” said Finnish Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen.

Additionally, this aid package will include products purchased from Finnish manufacturers. Separate funding of €30 million has been allocated for this purpose.

Currently, the country’s government is developing a long-term plan to support Ukraine with both military equipment and funding.

In addition, the production of 155-mm artillery shells continues in Finland to expand aid to Ukraine.

As Militarnyi previously reported, Finland will double its ammunition production to help Ukraine.

The agency has committed to investing approximately €24 million to boost the production of heavy ammunition and secure long-term orders from the Finnish industry. This initiative aims to enable the industry to make independent investments.

In addition, the Finnish industry will be able to apply to the EU for support under the financial package of the Ammunition Production Support Regulation, known as ASAP (Act in Support of Ammunition Production).
