Finland will deliver its 29th materiel assistance package to Ukraine. A decision on the matter is being prepared for submission to the Government and the President of the Republic.

Replacing the capabilities in this package will cost Finland an estimated EUR 143 million. Finland has now delivered defence materiel to Ukraine to a total value of EUR 2.8 billion.

“This delivery will include the first instalment of the domestically-produced equipment procured within the framework of the programme the Ministry of Defence launched this spring to support Ukraine. The programme has got off to a good start, and there has been a great deal of interest to participate in it. The Finnish defence industry produces quality products fit for harsh conditions,” said Minister of Defence Antti Häkkänen.

In spring 2025, the Ministry of Defence launched a programme to support Ukraine by procuring products destined for Ukraine from the Finnish defence industry. The goal is to meet Ukraine’s critical needs, ensure that the procured products are suitable for donation and safeguard the production and delivery capacity of companies.

For operational reasons and to ensure that the delivery reaches its destination, more detailed information on the content of the assistance, manner of delivery or schedule will not be provided. Both Ukraine’s needs and the resources of the Finnish Defence Forces have been taken into account when deciding on the assistance.
