Finland's 12th military aid package to Ukraine is 400m€.

How much is that? Compared to the size of our economy, it's equivalent to USA giving 30 billion dollars of military aid.

Just do it. I'm so sick of this tank drama. Someone do something. Well...UK has but we don't have many Challenger 2's and it doesn't seem like it did anything to break a taboo for others...Though I'd fully support sending a lot more, it isn't like we need them right now, or buy the Challenger 1's from Jordan and send them to Ukraine, Idk man.

Please give Ukraine some more modern tanks, Goddamn.
