Finland signs 10-year security pact with Ukraine to step up military aid

On Wednesday, Finland signed a 10-year security pact with Ukraine and will send it a further 188 million euros in military aid, Finnish President Alexander Stubb said after meeting Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv.

The accord covers security cooperation and long-term support, including backing for Ukraine's defence and security against Russia's two-year-old invasion and for Ukrainian reforms and reconstruction, Stubb's office said.

Finland will also provide another package of defence materials including air defence and heavy-calibre ammunition among other things, Stubb said at a joint news conference with Zelenskyy in the Ukrainian capital.

He said the fresh aid package would take the total Finnish contribution to Ukraine's defence since 2022 to around 2 billion euros.
