Unlike the federal government, the Finnish government gives no hope that Uniper's majority shareholder Fortum will continue to participate in the rescue measures for the struggling German energy company.
As Fortum's majority shareholder, the Finnish government does not see it as possible for the group to invest more in Uniper, Europe Minister Tytti Tuppurainen, who also oversees Finnish state holdings, told the Finnish news agency STT.
Fortum has already shown its commitment.
The Finnish state holds a good 50 percent of Fortum shares.
The Finnish group in turn owns around 78 percent of Uniper.
Fortum has already provided its German subsidiary with around four billion euros in cash and just as much as guarantees.
Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck, on the other hand, wants to make the owners responsible: "It belongs to someone, also someone who is solvent and who can provide support," the Greens politician told Deutschlandfunk at the weekend.
Fortum shares lost more than four percent on the Helsinki Stock Exchange on Monday.
The Uniper share also went down in the morning.
One and a half hours after the start of trading, its price was around 8 percent down at EUR 10.03.
The shutdown of the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline on Monday should also depress investor sentiment.
For the time being, this is just a planned maintenance shutdown.
However, it is uncertain whether Russia will resume deliveries after the break of several days.
Uniper submitted an application for stabilization measures to the federal government on Friday.
The Düsseldorf group has to buy gas on the market because of the reduced Russian gas supplies.
However, the group has not yet been able to pass the costs on to its customers, which is causing liquidity problems for Uniper.
