Details: The cost of deliveries under this package will be approximately €52 million.

The package will consist mainly of new orders from Finnish companies.

"The future of a free and secure Europe will be decided in Ukraine – this requires perseverance and determination from all allies," said Defence Minister Antti Häkkänen.

For operational security and to ensure the cargo reaches its destination, Finland is not disclosing further details about the contents of the aid, the method of delivery or the timetable.

The Finnish Ministry of Defence added that both Ukraine's needs and the resources of the Finnish armed forces were taken into account when deciding on the aid.
