Finland has announced it will not send troops to Ukraine, despite continuing to support the country with military aid and resources in its fight against Russian aggression.
Finland has confirmed it will not send troops to Ukraine, despite ongoing pressure from international allies. Finnish Defence Minister Mikko Savola made the announcement, clarifying that while Finland fully supports Ukraine's right to defend itself against Russian aggression, sending military personnel to fight on Ukrainian soil is not part of their strategy.
Finland, which shares a lengthy border with Russia, has been a vocal supporter of Ukraine and has provided significant military aid, including weapons and training. However, Savola emphasized that Finland's commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty and security would remain through non-combat support and assistance in other ways.
The decision comes amid growing discussions across Europe about the best ways to assist Ukraine in its fight against Russia. Finland's careful approach reflects its historical stance on military neutrality, balancing its support for Ukraine with its own national security concerns.
