This aid package also includes products purchased from Finnish manufacturers. Separate funding of 30 million euros was allocated for its purchase.
"There is a lot of know-how in the domestic industry, and we are working in the defense ministry to ensure that this know-how and potential can be used more effectively to support Ukraine. One example of this is our domestic ammunition production," said Finnish Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen.
According to him, Finland is currently developing a long-term plan to support Ukraine.
In addition, Finland has decided to participate in artillery and demining coalitions operating within the framework of the Contact Group on Ukraine's Defense, which coordinates military assistance to Ukraine.
