Finland’s policy on UkraineAs UNIAN reported earlier, Finland President Alexander Stubb stated in early March that Ukraine should automatically become a NATO member if Russia is attacking Ukrainians again after reaching peace. According to him, it would be a strong enough security guarantee for Ukraine. Stubb added that this was offered by American senator Lindsey Graham. In addition, he urged the use of funds that were confiscated in the Russian Federation.
Stubb criticized discussions about peacekeepers in Ukraine. According to him, it is not time to discuss now. He stressed that even if Europe has been sending to Ukraine from 20 to 60 thousand soldiers, it will not play a decisive role. “There are many other ways to continue Ukraine’s support. Land troops are not on our agenda now,” Stubb said. In his opinion, this discussion can only be returned after fighting stops in the territory of Ukraine.
Also, Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen stated that it was not time for European leaders to call Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. She stressed that the negotiations should be postponed as Russia continues its aggression against Ukraine. At the same time, Valtonen noted that Finland did not consider the Russian Federation an enemy, but opposes its actions and violations of international law.
