Ukraine and Finland sign 300 million euro defence deal

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced 300 million euros worth of new agreements with Finland, alongside potential high-level talks involving the United States and Russia, expressing hope that "Ukraine will be represented there at the highest level."

Zelenskyy and Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo have signed seven new cooperation agreements in Kyiv, valued at approximately 300 million euros.
