Today, Ukraine is in a stronger and better position than at any time in this war—in military, political and financial terms
According to him, Ukraine has the advantage and is capable of winning. The Finnish president defines victory primarily as preserving Ukrainian statehood.
If you survive, if you remain independent, if you remain a sovereign state—then that is victory
"If Ukraine loses, then so do we"
Stubb emphasized that supporting Kyiv is directly linked to the security of European countries. He called Ukraine the best security guarantee Europe has against russia.
We must understand—you in Germany and we in Finland—that Ukraine is the best security guarantee we have against russia. If Ukraine loses, we lose
Stubb also believes that Moscow’s opportunities for further escalation are limited, and that one of the few options available to the Kremlin remains a new mobilization.
According to him, the Russian army loses 30,000–35,000 servicemen every month, while recruiting about 27,000, so it is becoming increasingly difficult for it to maintain the current pace of hostilities.
