Putin will not answer. What to wait for Ukraine from the new President of Finland

Finland has received a new president - and this is a wonderful news for Ukraine, says journalist Anton Shvets. Judging by what Alexander Stubb said to the election, Russia has lost this country. WHATEVER IT DAKS, WE NEED TO HELP UKRAINE. In Finland, a new president was elected. In the second round of elections, Alexander Stubb won. He scored 51. 6% of the vote, and his rival Peck Gaavisto - 48. 4%. From our terrain, this may seem like a background event, but it is important to understand the context.

Especially given that Finland is one of our allies, and now it is a part of NATO and their "intra -" directly influences foreign policy on us. Finland since the beginning of the winter war of the Russian invasion of Ukraine has departed from the traditional neutral policy, in April 2023 the country joined NATO and made a decision to place an American contingent, and in November 2023 it completely closed the land border with ray Where to put it.

Well, and during this time she has allocated a lot of help to Ukraine. But will Mr Stubb continue this policy? It looks like that. A native of a centering "national coalition". He was previously Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, and a member of the European Parliament. By the way, he participated in negotiations during the Russian attack on Georgia in 2008. Recently, Stubb has experienced an interesting and powerful evolution of views.

He once said that sanctions against Russia is not required and everything can be solved with "soft force", and now stands for the expansion of sanctions, supports the confiscation of frozen assets of the Russian Federation in favor of Ukraine and still said that Putin would call, then Only bends will hear. Not a stub, but a hawk.

If you read its election program, it becomes clear that it is a priority in it, although Stubb is trying to balance between national interests and general international dynamics. Three Whales of Finland by Stubbu are liberal democracy, market economy and globalization. The new president is strongly focused on expanding economic and political cooperation towards the collective event. Of course, with such values ​​it is difficult to consider the Russian Federation suitable for friendship.

In any case, Russia has finally lost its relations with Finland. Stubb is ready to live together under the wing of the states and build defensive connections with them. However, no matter how the Finns believe that partnerships would help prevent war, they still build their army and improve their weapons. We observe the next steps of President Stubba. His term of office will start on March 1 and expire in 2030.
