Finland has signed an agreement with the European Commission to supply Ukraine with ammunition worth €90 million. The funding will come from frozen Russian assets through the European Peace Facility (EPF).
This was reported by the Finnish Ministry of Defense.
The ammunition will be purchased from Finnish manufacturers, which will also support the local industry and help preserve jobs.
Finnish Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen stated that this move demonstrates unwavering support for Ukraine and strengthens cooperation between the Finnish defense industry and Kyiv.
Together with the national support program for Ukraine worth €660 million, this will help enhance Ukraine’s defense capabilities.
“Finland’s support for Ukraine is unwavering and strong even in other respects. This new package alongside our national EUR 660 million support programme will forge closer links between the Finnish industry and Finland’s support for Ukraine. This is a great example of the Finnish defence industry’s abilities, and it shows that our investments into ammunition production capacity are paying off,” said Minister Häkkänen.
Details regarding the delivery method and schedule are not yet disclosed.
