Details: The package must be approved by the Finnish government and president.

"As in the past, the content of the aid package is not disclosed in detail. However, we can say that this time it includes, among other things, artillery ammunition, which is in great demand," said Häkkänen.

He noted that in Finland "there is broad political support and national unanimity on the issue of helping Ukraine".

"It is also valuable that we have been able to combine support for Ukraine with strengthening domestic supply security through the industrial support programme," the Finnish minister added.

During the meeting, Häkkänen and Umierov also signed a Memorandum of Understanding on defence cooperation between the two countries' defence ministries.

The document aims to deepen defence cooperation. The areas of closer cooperation include defence materials, information exchange, research and innovation, ammunition production, etc.
