Finland has no plans to purchase weapons for Ukraine from the United States yet.

Finland has not yet planned to use the new NATO instrument to help Ukraine, which provides for the purchase of weapons from the United States by the countries of the alliance. This was announced on August 5 by the country's Defense Minister Antti Hakkianen.

"We have directed our resources to the national industrial program, under which we order products for Ukraine from Finnish companies all over the country," Hakkianen told Yle broadcaster.

According to Hakkanen, Finland developed this program together with Ukraine so that it would be as useful as possible.

"We are still very actively and resolutely supporting Ukraine, but now we are focusing on products coming from our domestic companies," the minister added.
