Finland’s Defence Minister has indicated that Ukraine has approached Finland for fighter jets in its ongoing conflict with Russia.
Prime Minister Marin, meanwhile, has been more tight-lipped on the issue saying, “Of course, I cannot report confidential discussions between different countries. On a general level, I can say that Ukraine has asked Finland for help, just like all other member states and partner countries of the European Union, in order to get armaments into the country.”
“This issue of fighter jets is by no means new, it has not only come up in relation to the visit to Kyiv, but this debate has been going on at a general European level for a very long time,” Marin said.
