Finland has approved the 22nd military aid package for Ukraine worth some €190 million ($205 million), local media reported on Friday.
The latest package would bring the total value of military aid packages Finland has approved for Ukraine since the war in Ukraine started almost two years ago to over €1.8 billion, the public broadcaster YLE noted.
Finnish Defense Minister Antti Hakkanen said that the country is exploring long-term ways of supporting Ukraine.
“There is a lot of know-how in the Finnish industrial sector and we are working to ensure that this know-how and capacity can be used more effectively to support Ukraine, as well,” he said.
Hakkanen noted that one such area being explored is the country’s domestic ammunition production.
As in past aid packages, the country neither disclosed the contents and method of delivery nor the shipment schedule of the latest package.
Finland is part of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, which consists of over 50 countries.
