Finland is working on the 36th package of military assistance to Ukraine. The country’s government plans to approve it by the end of 2026, and the content is being agreed directly with the Ukrainian military.
This was stated by Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo during a joint press conference with President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv.
According to Orpo, since the beginning of the year, Finland has already transferred five defense assistance packages to Ukraine with a total value of over 500 million euros.
“We are currently preparing the 36th package and are doing so in close cooperation with the Ukrainian military. We plan to make a decision by the end of this year,” the Prime Minister noted.
He assured that Finland will continue to supply Ukraine with military equipment and assist in training military personnel. Orpo also called on international partners to increase support for Ukraine in countering Russian aggression.
Separately, the Prime Minister emphasized the importance of cooperation between Ukrainian and Finnish companies in the defense sector.
During his visit to Kyiv, Orpo is accompanied by representatives of Finnish businesses working in the fields of defense, critical infrastructure, satellite technologies, and civil protection.
Following the results of the Ukrainian-Finnish business forum, companies from the two countries signed seven documents on further cooperation.
It was previously reported that Finland will allocate 2 million euros for humanitarian aid to Ukraine . The funds will be used to provide food to residents of frontline areas, support displaced people, and prepare for winter.
Recall that the Netherlands will allocate 26.5 million euros for the reconstruction and development of Ukraine in 2027. The funds are provided within the framework of the Ukraine Partnership Facility (UPF) program, which will be extended next year.
