President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Thursday, Oct. 22 that he signed seven agreements with Finland’s Prime Minister Petteri Orpo, including deals to expand Kyiv’s use of Finnish satellite capabilities through Nokia and ICEYE. The total value of the agreements amount to over €300 million (roughly $337 million), as Ukraine and Europe weigh alternatives to Starlink that disrupted Ukrainian drone operations without prior warning.
