Ukraine and Finland
The Finnish government has previously decided to allocate 90 million euros to provide Ukraine with ammunition. The funds will come from the proceeds of Russian assets frozen in the European Union and will be channeled through the European Peace Fund.
Thus, Finland joins the initiative of EU countries that use revenues from blocked Russian resources for military assistance to Ukraine. The Finnish Ministry of Defense specified that the funding will go to the purchase of large-caliber ammunition with a total value of 90 million euros.
On April 3, 2024, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Finnish President Alexander Stubb signed a historic Agreement on Security Cooperation and Long-Term Support. In fact, Finland became the eighth country with which a security agreement has been concluded.
