🇫🇮🇺🇦🇷🇺 FINLAND’S PRESIDENT JUST TURNED PUTIN’S OWN WORDS AGAINST HIM.

Putin keeps insisting that peace requires addressing the “root causes” of the war.

Finnish President Alexander Stubb has a rather different interpretation.

If Moscow genuinely wants to address the cause of the conflict, Stubb argues, it should start with Russia’s own decision to invade Ukraine.

It’s a pointed response to the Kremlin’s familiar argument that NATO expansion and Western policies are responsible for the war.

The distinction matters: Russia’s security grievances can be discussed, but they do not erase its responsibility for launching the invasion.

And Stubb’s response exposes the central disagreement in the negotiations.

Putin wants the conversation to begin with what Russia demands from everyone else.

Stubb wants it to begin with what Russia did to Ukraine.
