Before 1918, both Finland and Ukraine were part of the Russian Empire. In 1918, Finland was one of the first countries to recognise Ukraine and open a diplomatic mission in Kyiv. Finland once again recognised Ukraine on December 30, 1991. Both countries established diplomatic relations on February 26, 1992. Finland is a member of the European Union, which Ukraine applied for in 2022. Both countries are full members of Council of Europe. Also Finland is an EU member and Ukraine is an EU candidate.

Security cooperationedit

In 3 April 2024, President of Finland Alexander Stubb and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a ten-year agreement on security cooperation and long-term support between Finland and Ukraine. It is said to be an indication of Finland's long-term commitment to supporting Ukraine.

The agreement covers several sectors such as political support and support for Ukraine's defense, security, reforms and reconstruction. Finland is the eighth country to sign a bilateral security agreement with Ukraine.
