When Russia invaded Ukraine, Finland’s then-president Niinistö said that the masks had fallen. If anyone was still clinging onto some kind of hope of Trump coming around on Ukraine, this disgrace of a press conference should make everything clear now. Trump is anti-Ukraine. Pro-Russia.

💬 Zelenskyy: "Unfortunately, President Trump, with all due respect for him as the leader of a nation that we respect greatly … is living in this disinformation bubble."

❗️There are three possible stages to achieving peace in 🇺🇦Ukraine, says 🇫🇮Finnish President Alexander Stubb. The first stage is preliminary negotiations. Ukraine should receive more weapons and increase pressure on the Russian Federation through sanctions and the use of frozen assets.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for the creation of an "army of Europe" to guard against Russia as he suggested the US may no longer come to the continent's aid. He’s right…The EU should create its own army ground.news/article/zele...

Karelia, once seized from Finland, now ranks as Russia's most depressive region. In contrast, Finland consistently tops global happiness rankings. This reflects the Russian tendency to conquer territories at great human cost, only to neglect them afterward.

According to Mike Waltz, national security adviser to US President Donald Trump, after the war in Ukraine ends, Europeans must ensure the stability of the country. I hope the EU understands this yle.fi/a/74-2014257...

Russia started this war so Russia must pay the price of it. Today Ukraine will receive €3 billion from our G7 loan which will be repaid with the proceeds from Russian frozen assets. This will support Ukraine’s economy and free up Ukrainian money for defence.

Sometimes in ancient times, there was a concept called “diplomatic language.” 🇷🇺 Foreign Ministry was one of the first to adopt a deliberately vulgar language. One of the users of this neo-brutalism is Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry. www.is.fi/ulkomaat/art...

Zelenskyy made a very fair point:Americans still don't understand who Putin really is.They form their opinion of him based on their own values. Putin is a person who lives in the system of primitive societies,a tribe,not a developed civilization. He needs technology to kill,not to fly to Mars

Recent incidents have shown that the Baltic Sea has not become a NATO lake. But land-centric defence development has left the Baltic states’ navies small and underpowered. The region needs to do more for its own maritime security, writes Tony Lawrence.
