Finnish President Stubb says Finland can defend itself from Russia without U.S. troops, thanks to conscription and readiness.
Finnish President Alexander Stubb stated on January 21, 2026, that Finland is capable of defending itself against a Russian attack without direct U.S. military support, citing its mandatory conscription system, extensive military readiness, and robust civilian infrastructure.
He emphasized Finland’s ability to rapidly mobilize up to 280,000 troops, maintain strong supply chains, and house 4.4 million people in shelters.
While acknowledging continued reliance on U.S. support for advanced systems like F-35s, Stubb affirmed strong U.S.-Finland cooperation and dismissed concerns about NATO’s stability, asserting the alliance is stronger than ever.
