At a press conference after the meeting, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also said he would lower the military conscription age in Ukraine from 27 to 25.
Ukraine’s president and his Finnish counterpart Alexander Stubb have signed a 10-year security agreement in Kyiv.
In a statement on X, Volodymyr Zelenskyy called it a “robust document that proves Finland’s readiness to continue supporting Ukraine in the fight against Russian aggression.”
Helsinki, newly a NATO member, will provide Ukraine with long-term military and financial assistance.
The two states also expressed a wish to deepen cooperation in the fields of politics, finances, and in the humanitarian sphere.
Finland agreed to participate in rebuilding Ukraine’s energy sector and assess environmental damage as a result of the Russian invasion.
Medical treatment of Ukrainian military personnel is also included in the deal.
The defence aid package provided to Ukraine is worth 188 million euros, bringing the total military aid provided to Ukraine by Finland to around 2 billion euros.
In a brief comment at a news conference after the meeting, Zelenskyy announced he had lowered the military conscription age from 27 to 25 in a bid to replenish depleted ranks after more than two years of war.
The new mobilisation law came into force a day after Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed it. Ukraine’s parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, passed it last year.
It was not immediately clear why Zelenskyy took so long to sign the measure into law.
