The Government of Finland has made a voluntary contribution of €500,000 to support the implementation of the Council of Europe Action Plan for Ukraine 2018-2022.

This Action Plan aims to continue accompanying Ukraine in its efforts to bring legislation, institutions and practice further into line with European standards in the areas of human rights, the rule of law and democracy and, through this, to support Ukraine in meeting its obligations as a Council of Europe member state.

Ambassador Nina Nordström, Permanent Representative of Finland to the Council of Europe, met with Mr Bjørn Berge, Deputy Secretary General, on this occasion.
