Finland to audit whether US is actually delivering NATO-bought weapons to Ukraine

Finnish Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen said his country will verify whether weapons purchased by NATO allies from American military contractors are actually reaching Ukraine.

"What has been promised to Ukraine must reach Ukraine," Häkkänen said.

The statement comes in response to a Washington Post report that the Pentagon is considering redirecting military equipment earmarked for Ukraine's armed forces toward a potential conflict with Iran. Helsinki says it will examine whether Washington is honoring the terms of contracts signed with European NATO members who procured the weapons through US defense contractors.

"We constantly assess how funds are being spent, and we believe the mechanism works. Of course, if problems arise, we will have to review this," Häkkänen told Euronews.
