Quote: "We have completed negotiations on how Finland will further increase the production of artillery ammunition for Ukraine. This decision will be made very soon.
We have announced a plan to significantly increase the production of ammunition. We intend to support Ukraine even more than we do now.
At the same time, we will further increase the readiness of Finland and the Nordic countries to produce ammunition."
Details: Häkkinen said that the decision to start producing ammunition for Ukraine is likely to be made before Christmas.
