flag Finland’s president warns Ukraine ceasefire unlikely before spring, urging sustained Western support amid Russian hybrid threats and a corruption scandal.

flag Finland’s President Alexander Stubb warned a Ukraine ceasefire is unlikely before spring, urging Europe to maintain military and financial support despite a Kyiv corruption scandal that benefits Russia. flag Speaking in November 2025, Stubb emphasized the need for resilience—“sisu”—as Russia continues hybrid attacks, including sabotage and disinformation. flag He stressed that lasting peace requires security guarantees, economic rebuilding, and resolution of territorial disputes, advocating for using frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine’s recovery. flag Stubb, a key intermediary between U.S. President Trump and Ukraine’s Zelenskyy, praised Trump’s sanctions on Russian energy firms but called for more advanced weapons, noting Ukraine still lacks launch platforms for long-range missiles. flag He criticized Russia’s cancellation of a planned Trump-Putin meeting as a missed diplomatic opportunity, saying Putin’s goals remain unchanged: denying Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
