New aid package keeps Finland as one of Ukraine's biggest supporters

Finland is located next to Russia and is therefore one of the countries that might become a target of Vladimir Putin's aggression if he achieves even a partial victory in Ukraine.

For this reason, the Finns decided to join the Western defense alliance, NATO, immediately after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The nation was quite unanimous in this decision, even though before the invasion, the so-called "NATO option" had not been particularly popular among the public.

The Finns’ perspective changed because Russia's attack on Ukraine showed that the previous policy of appeasement was insufficient to prevent Russian aggression. For the same reason, Finns are currently quite united in their belief that Ukraine must be supported in its fight for independence.

For this reason, Finland is now sending its 25th aid package to Ukraine. After this, the total value of the defense material sent will rise to €2.3 billion, keeping Finland among the countries that have provided the most support to Ukraine in relation to the size of its economy.
