Finland provides EUR 2.1B in aid to Ukraine since war began

Finland has provided EUR 2.1 billion worth of aid to Kyiv since the beginning of Russia's full-scale armed aggression against Ukraine.

Finland's Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Ville Tavio said this in an interview with Ukrinform.

"Finland's overall support to Ukraine since the beginning of Russia's full-scale aggression is 2.1 billion euros, of which 1.4 billion is for defense. Ukraine is Finland's largest partner in development cooperation. We are strongly committed to continue our support for Ukraine for as long as needed," Tavio said.

In mid-October, Finnish President Sauli Niinisto, based on the government's proposal, approved the decision to provide the 19th military aid package to Ukraine, valued at EUR 95 million.
