  1. Finland plans €100 million purchase of one million anti-personnel landmines

    Finland's national news agency STT and AFP reported Finland plans to spend €100 million (about $112 million) on one million anti-personnel mines. Finland left the Ottawa Convention banning such mines last year, as did Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, citing a potential threat from Russia. Colonel Riku Mikkonen of the Army Command said officials are gathering information from suppliers and would prefer domestic production, with a contract by end-2027 and production from 2028; about six Finnish companies qualify.
