Finland is preparing to deliver its 29th shipment of military aid to Ukraine, the government announced on Monday afternoon.
It said the government and the president were preparing a final decision about the shipment.
The value of this shipment is valued at an estimated 143 million euros, which will bring the total value of defence aid that Finland has provided Ukraine to 2.8 billion euros.
According to Defence Minister Antti Häkkänen (NCP), the latest shipment will include defence equipment manufactured in Finland.
"Finnish equipment is of high quality and it has been proven to work in harsh conditions," Häkkänen said in a press release.
The defence ministry launched a programme this spring that allocates military equipment orders for Ukraine to Finnish defence sector firms.
According to the government, the starting point of those procurements is based on Ukraine's needs, the suitability of the items' transport and the domestic companies' production and delivery capabilities.
As in past military aid package announcements, the ministry did not disclose the contents, method of delivery or the schedule of its latest military materiel shipment — due to operational concerns as well as to ensure it arrives safely.
Decsions about the aid package's contents were based on Ukraine's needs as well as the resources of the Finnish Defence Forces, the government said.
