History of the diplomatic relations

Finland was one of the first countries which recognized Ukraine in 1918 and opened its diplomatic mission in Kyiv. The Ukrainian diplomatic mission was established among the first six foreign embassies in Helsinki. Later history of two countries went by different ways: Finland managed to hold its independence, but Ukraine has become a part of the Soviet Union for a long time.

Finland recognized the independence of Ukraine on December 30, 1991. Diplomatic relations between two countries were established on February 26, 1992. The Finnish Embassy in Ukraine has begun its work on April 1, 1992, the Ukrainian Embassy in Finland – on December 18, of the same year.
