"This will be the 18th package of defense materiel to Ukraine. Replacing the defense materiel capabilities contained in this package will cost Finland an estimated EUR 94 million. The combined replacement value of all defense materiel packages delivered so far is about EUR 1.3 billion," a statement by the ministry read. The ministry, "for operational reasons," did not provide further details on the package's content or on when and how it is going to be delivered. On Wednesday, during a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Niinisto announced the package, saying that it would include heavy weaponry and munitions. The Finnish government said, commenting on the announcement, that Ukraine is Finland's largest partner country in development cooperation. Finland is also preparing to help with Ukraine's reconstruction, the authorities added. Western allies began delivering weapons to Ukraine after Russia launched its military operation there in February 2022. Their support has evolved from light artillery munitions and training to heavier weapons. Russia has consistently warned against further arms deliveries to Kiev.
