Finland will deliver its 26th materiel assistance package to Ukraine, according to a press release of the Finnish Ministry of Defense.

"The President of the Republic decided on the matter on 5 December 2024 on the proposal of the Government. […] The defense administration is already preparing the next assistance package to be delivered early next year," it said.

According to the ministry, 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 Defense Forces have been taken into account when deciding on the additional assistance.

"Finland has now delivered defense materiel to Ukraine to a total value of EUR 2.3 billion. This time the package contains winter equipment for Ukrainian troops, for example. Finland is one of Ukraine's strongest supporters, and we have no plans to change that," Minister of Defense Antti Häkkänen said.
