At the UN General Assembly, the President of Finland called for the abolition of the veto right in the Security Council and requested Finland’s inclusion in it.
Not in the sense of becoming a permanent member, but as a test. The Council must reflect the current balance of power. Alexander Stubb proposed adding new permanent seats: at least two for Africa, two for the Asia-Pacific region, and one for Latin America.
Questions about the composition of the Security Council
Why should China in Asia have such significance, where Uighurs in concentration camps are assigned social credits for knowledge of communist tenets?
Why should Russia, where opposition members are killed with tropical toad poison and the parliament was shelled with tanks, have the leverage to block any initiatives that help victims of their aggression withstand?
If a permanent or elected member of the Security Council grossly violates the UN Charter, its voting rights should be frozen. The final decision on this, he stated, should be made by the General Assembly. In other words, all countries, not those who got there like communists by edging out competitors in Taiwan.
Finally, someone said it. And it’s a democratic country, not a dictatorship. Essentially, the Security Council now consists of pedophiles because their grandfathers fought well against the previous pedophiles.
Moreover, the President of Finland has repeatedly stated directly that Russia is already waging a hybrid war against Europe, trying to intimidate society and exert pressure. He included violations of airspace, cyberattacks, sabotage, and damage to underwater cables in the Baltic Sea as manifestations of this campaign.
But Stubb wouldn’t be Finnish if he only believed in speeches from the podium. While the UN architecture is paralyzed by vetoes from marauders, Helsinki is doing what can truly stop the Russian hybrid machine — they are building conveyors. That’s why we smoothly move from New York to the Finnish workshops.
On September 23, 2026, Ukraine and Finland signed an extended pact in New York. Officially, the document is titled “Agreement on Enhanced Cooperation in Defense and Security”. Finland became the 11th country to sign such a document with Kyiv.
The agreement creates a legal and bureaucratic framework for the exchange of technologies, joint research, and full-scale industrial weapons production. An important aspect is the radical simplification of issuing export licenses for transferring military technologies between the countries. Finns are interested in technologies without stillborn projects and childhood diseases — we have them.
Ukraine transfers its intellectual rights and battlefield-tested systems, while Finland provides secure factories and engineering expertise. This is extremely convenient for both parties: the Finns receive weathered weaponry capable of overcoming modern electronic warfare that has impressed several hundred Russian vessels, and we gain a secure platform, modernization, and investments.
Finnish President Alexander Stubb announced that about 90% of all drones produced in Finland within this cooperation will be sent to the front in Ukraine, while the remaining 10% will be used to equip the Finnish Defense Forces. This is excellent—the arms race near Peter, where the population is currently enjoying grandeur and a lack of gasoline, is what we need. Every ruble there is one less ruble for fuel under Orihiv.
Flagship Projects
Practical work at the corporate level is already underway, and the agreement merely elevates it to a state level.
The Ukrainian defense-tech company Tencore and the Finnish industrial group Insta established a joint venture to produce unmanned ground vehicles of the TerMIT 2.0 series. The production is distributed among Finnish industrial partners to move the capacities out of reach of Russian missiles (initiative Build with Ukraine). The immediate operational goal of the joint venture is to supply 320 robotic systems for the Ukrainian Defense Forces. Transporting, evacuating wounded and sick, mining, and fire platforms—our task is to reduce losses from the hail of iron on the front lines, and this could be an excellent point of effort. Yes, operator losses have increased because Russia systematically targets antennas and emissions, but this decreases logistical pressure and provides chances to supply forward fronts.
The Finnish defense giant Patria signed a protocol of intent with the Ukrainian UAV producer “General Chereshnya” to launch joint drone production in Finland. The main priority is interceptor drones, as well as heavy FPV and aircraft-type UAVs. Interceptors are currently the hottest commodity in Europe due to the constant intrusion of Russian drones into NATO airspace. The eastern flank needs a “drone wall,” and Finns aim to profit while securing their country.
The Finnish company Summa Defence organized production sites for its Summa Drones division in the south of the country. Pilot production of joint batches of drones with Ukrainians began there in the first half of 2025, and deliveries started in the second half of 2025. According to the financial report for the first half of 2025, the defense segment of Summa Defence showed net sales of almost 35 million euros, and the company’s order portfolio exceeded 161 million euros. Finns are earning substantial profits from this, and part of these capabilities are directly working on Ukrainian contracts.
The partners understand: it’s better to pay for testing Patria interceptor drones in the skies over Ukraine’s Donbas today than to shoot down Shaheds over Helsinki tomorrow. They use our bloody R&D, pour their military-industrial complex with European funds, and stimulate the economy. For us, this cynical mutually beneficial alliance is a thousand times more reliable than any vanilla “guarantee memorandums.”
Finland is becoming the main assembly hub for Ukrainian defense-tech in northern Europe, alongside Denmark. They take our brains and combat experience, provide machines, money, and the NATO shield, which protects against ballistic arrivals. All the northern countries have shown themselves to be true defenders of democracy and have done much not only for Ukraine but for humanity in general. They see how McDonald’s warehouses and the book market at Petrivka burn, see our prisoners in a state of dystrophy and executions on camera — and clearly understand what has awakened in the east once again.
Instead of seeking compromises with the insane gas station, they silently expand the assembly halls. Because the best UN resolution against an aggressor is a conveyor that seamlessly stamps TerMIT 2.0, and a swarm of FPV that flies to its positions, blocked west of the Zherebets River.
