HELSINKI: Finland announced on Friday (Jan 20) a new donation of more than 400 million euros (US$434 million) worth of defence equipment for Ukraine, not including Leopard 2 heavy tanks which it said it could also
Donation of the newest aid package became possible with the help of neighbouring Sweden, which agreed to help Finland quickly replace the donated equipment in case of a crisis.
