Finnish President Alexander Stubb expressed strong support for Ukraine’s right to defend itself against Russian aggression, including strikes and advances on Russian territory.
At a press conference on August 13, he emphasized that Finland imposes no restrictions on Ukraine’s use of Finnish-supplied weapons, provided it adheres to international law.
“We see no reason to restrict the actions of the Ukrainians,” Stubb said.
Finland is a key supporter of Ukraine, providing advanced weapons, humanitarian aid, and long-term security cooperation.
In April, Stubb and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a 10-year security agreement between the two countries.
The two countries agreed that Finland would participate in rebuilding Ukraine's energy sector, assessing environmental damage, and strengthening border and critical infrastructure protection. Medical treatment of Ukrainian military personnel is also included in the deal.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.
We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.
Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
