The Finnish Parliament’s Large Committee has approved detailed proposals for a €90 billion loan to Ukraine, aligned with the government’s position on EU Commission proposals. The loan, secured by the EU’s budget flexibility, aims to support Ukraine’s defense capabilities and address immediate military needs. Finland’s share of the financial responsibility is approximately €1.4 billion (1.54% of GDP). EU member states agreed in December 2025 to the loan, with Czechia, Hungary, and Slovakia not participating in the financial commitment. The next steps involve Coreper meetings to finalize terms with the European Parliament before final approval. The loan repayment will be funded through proceeds from frozen Russian assets. The committee emphasized the need for flexible and effective defense procurement while prioritizing Ukraine’s direct military requirements.
