Sanna Marin is sure that a bright future awaits Ukraine as part of the EU and NATO.
Prime Minister of Finland Sanna Marin said that Europe will never leave Ukraine in war unleashed by the Russian Federation, and will send even more heavy equipment, reports Yle. She stressed that Russian President Vladimir Putin and others guilty of war crimes will be brought to justice.
“Russia will lose this war. This is not a legal war. Russia is solely responsible for it. Every day in Ukraine, Russia kills civilians, deliberately kills civilians. People are raped. Children are being deported en masse to Russia. For all these actions, the guilty must also be punished. The Russian leadership, Putin, will not get away with it either. Finland supports all efforts to bring those responsible for these heinous crimes to justice. Including the Russian leadership,” said Sanna Marin.
She added that the war in Ukraine will end only when the Russian Federation withdraws its troops. The Prime Minister of Finland emphasized that the Russian-Ukrainian war should not become a frozen conflict.
“This will not end the war. The way to a lasting peace is Russia's cessation of hostilities. Only this opens the way to negotiations and steps towards peace,” said the Prime Minister.
Sanna Marin is confident that Ukraine, with the help of the West and “the country awaits a bright future as part of the EU and NATO, as it is ready to reforms”.
