The President on Friday decided to extend Finland’s contribution to the NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU), said the Ministry for Foreign Affairs in a press release.
Finland will be able to deploy up to 15 soldiers to the NSATU in future. The current level of participation is five soldiers.
The objective is for Finland to deploy ten soldiers to NSATU by early 2026.
Finland’s contribution could be increased to a maximum of 15 soldiers if the situation warrants it, taking into account the resources of the Finnish Defence Forces and the needs of NSATU.
The Finnish soldiers carry out staff, administrative and support duties at the NSATU Headquarters in Wiesbaden, Germany, and, if necessary, in other NSATU functions within the territory of NATO Allies.
The NSATU mission is to provide enduring, predictable and coherent support to Ukraine. It coordinates Allied materiel deliveries, maintenance, logistics and military training. NSATU also has tasks related to developing Ukraine’s armed forces and improving their compatibility with NATO.
NSATU was launched in December 2024, and NATO member states have been asked to strengthen their contributions.
