Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen stated that imposing neutrality on Ukraine will not lead to peace with Russia, emphasizing a lack of trust in Moscow’s commitments. Drawing from Finland’s own historical experiences, Valtonen argued against the ‘Finlandization’ model for Ukraine, highlighting that the country was neutral before being attacked. She warned that forcing Ukraine into unwanted agreements would undermine international order and stressed the importance of Ukraine’s involvement in any discussions regarding its future.
