International News: The support of Western countries has been seen earlier in the Ukraine-Russia war, but now Finland has taken a bold step that Russia can consider a direct injury to its national security. Finland has announced that it will put the income from Russia's seized property in Ukraine's military help. This decision is not only unbearable for Kremlin, but can also bring bilateral stress to new heights.

90 million euro military assistance, from Russia's property

Finland's Ministry of Defense has confirmed that it has joined the European Union plan in which weapons will be sent to Ukraine from the income of Russia's seized assets. Under this scheme, Finland has set a large assistance amount of 90 million euros, providing heavy caliber ammunition and military equipment to Ukraine. All these weapons will be purchased from Finland's domestic defense companies, which will also boost the local industry.

Doubly advantage: Ukraine strength, Finland strengthened

Finland's Defense Minister Anti Haikheknen described the move as a "double profit". He said that this decision will provide direct military assistance to Ukraine on the one hand, on the other hand, employment and production will be promoted in the domestic defense sector. He described it as an expansion of his 660 million euro national aid package, which would further strengthen the relationship between Ukraine's help and Finland's defense industry.

Finland moves beyond NATO membership

This decision also shows that Finland is no longer limited to diplomatic support after becoming a NATO member, but has also chosen the path of active military partnership against Russia. The special thing is that this assistance is being done from the seized property of the same Russia, which will give military strength to Ukraine - this is very prick for Moscow.

Dare ignores Putin's warning

Russia has already warned Western countries that the countries which will give military support to Ukraine will be put in the list of 'enemy countries'. Despite this, Finland has openly challenged Russia by taking this decision. Analysts believe that this decision reflects the solidarity of European countries, but at the same time it can also put Finland at risk of Russia's retaliation.

New stress in Russia-Finland relations

This development may lead to more tricks in already stressful relationships between Russia and Finland. Especially at a time when Russia is already cautious about safety on its western borders, this step of Finland can become another strategic headache for Moscow.
