The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs thanked Finland for its significant assistance to Ukraine, in particular for the recent decision to transfer 10 locomotives, as well as for its leading role in the coalition of civil defense shelters. "Thanks to the work of the coalition, shelters are being built for schools and kindergartens all over Ukraine. We greatly appreciate Finland's contribution. We also discussed the possibilities of expanding the coalition," the minister noted.

Finland consistently helps Ukraine protect critical infrastructure and energy facilities, and we are grateful for this support.

We are grateful to Finland for its constant support, confirmed by concrete actions," the minister noted.
