This is stated on the website of the Finnish government.

They noted that the number of howitzers planned to be transferred would remain a secret.

The government considered this issue and gave Estonia permission to re-export to Ukraine. Estonia has 42 such howitzers, which were previously bought from Finland.

The D-30 is a Soviet 122 mm howitzer. The Bula was adopted in the 1960s, but since then it has been modernized several times. It is in service with dozens of countries, mainly post-Soviet countries.
