According to the Prime Minister of Finland, Russian energy resources should be abandoned entirely because the current situation has highlighted Europe's vulnerabilities and its dependence on authoritarian countries.



This was stated by the Prime Minister of Finland, Sanna Marin.

Despite the economic difficulties of Europeans due to the soaring energy prices, Europe must be ready to continue and increase sanctions pressure on Russia.

According to her, Russian energy resources should be abandoned entirely because the current situation has highlighted the vulnerabilities of Europe and its dependence on authoritarian countries.

When asked what Helsinki would consider the end of the war in Ukraine, Sanna Marin replied that only the leaders of Ukraine and the Ukrainians themselves should determine acceptable peace conditions, and Western countries, including Finland, should provide all possible support and put pressure on Russia sanctions.
