The President of the Republic, Alexander Stubb, gave a short comment interview to about Russia’s border plans in the Baltic Sea.
Above all, Stubb emphasized composure.
– All such questions should be treated calmly and calmly, and you should not rush. I myself am quite calm.
According to Stubb, Finland reacts to Russia’s actions by first finding out what it is about.
– If it’s nothing, then you really need to react to it. If it is a hybrid operation, we will give our own statement about it. And of course we have been in contact with our allies and partners, especially Lithuania, because Lithuania has been sent the same message according to at least one media outlet, Stubb said.
In Stubb’s opinion, Finland has not reacted too strongly to the first news about Russia’s actions, but in exactly the right way.
– Take it easy and if it’s not about bigger issues, then fine and let’s move on.
