Details: He said that the guarantees would come into force only after the future agreement between Ukraine and Russia, but stressed that Russia would not have the right to veto their format.
Direct language Stubba: “Russia has absolutely no right to vote on the sovereign decisions of an independent state … Therefore, it is not a question for me whether Russia will agree or not. Of course, they will not agree, but this is not the main thing.”
Details: Stubb acknowledged that there is no particular chance of involving Russian ruler Vladimir Putin in negotiations.
Direct language Stubba: “This war is too significant to lose it. It has made, perhaps, the greatest strategic mistake in recent history, of course, since the end of the Cold War, and it has failed for all its strategic purposes. This is a question when it sits at the negotiating table, I hope, and now, but now I am.
