Finland and Ukraine Sign Long-Term Security Accord

Published:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Finnish President Alexander Stubb signed a 10-year security pact in Kyiv. The treaty shows Finland’s consistent support for Ukraine against Russian aggression.


On social media, Zelensky called the pact a “robust document” and highlighted Finland’s promise to offer Ukraine with military and financial support. Beyond defense cooperation, the treaty seeks to improve political, financial, and humanitarian cooperation.

Finland will help rebuild Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and examine Russian invasion environmental damage under the pact. Medical care for Ukrainian soldiers shows Finland’s complete defense assistance.

The agreement includes 188 million euros in defense funding, demonstrating Finland’s commitment to Ukraine’s military. This latest commitment brings Finland’s military aid to Kyiv to 2 billion euros, a considerable investment in Ukraine’s security.

After the signing ceremony, President Zelensky lowered the military conscription age from 27 to 25 to strengthen Ukraine’s armed forces after years of strife. The mobilization statute, enacted by Ukraine’s parliament last year, shows the country’s defense efforts.

While the mobilization law’s delay generated issues, its passage is a crucial milestone in Ukraine’s continuous military preparation effort amid security concerns.
