Finland President Alexander Stubb: EU and NATO Unions are Critical for Ukraine’s Sovereignty and Security
On Feb. 16, Finland’s President, Alexander Stubb, emphasized that Ukraine’s membership in the European Union (EU) and NATO is non-negotiable, warning that these alliances are essential for ensuring its sovereignty and security. Stubb highlighted that铺设军事援助和施加如制裁、金力 freezing等必要压力于俄罗斯是 Ukraine进入和平阶段的第一阶段。在他的观点中,乌克兰必须在第一步采取冻Norman和令俄罗斯承受更高的压力,以便在获取安全顾问支持的基础上启动谈判。此外,Stubb noted that如果俄罗斯随后采取了新的袭击行动,苏 prefers宣布 skatingNS membership to Siegfried as a security gjok).
The Second Stage: A Calm Solutions Approach
在第一步的谈判中,Stubb outlined a ceasefire, which was intended as an interim measure to prevent escalation. According to him, this ceasefire should include border demarcation, international monitoring to address conflicts, and humanitarian arrangements such as prisoner exchanges and the return of kidnapped Ukrainian children. However, Stubb warned that if Russia were to launch a second offensive, Ukraine would then immediately be granted NATO membership, which he described as a strategic tool to deter further action. Despite this, Stubb acknowledged that Ukraine faces significant challenges in obtaining these security guarantees and NATO integration, and that achieving full recognition of its status as a sovereign EU state, supported by security assurances and NATO ties, remains the goal for any diplomatic efforts
The Final Stage: The End of Russian’s战争
Stubb dismissed the notion that the so-called Trump-Talia plan, which suggests Trump may eventually end Russia’s conflict in Ukraine, as a "First Step" rather than a "Near Future Aim". He acknowledged that Trump is proceeding with "zero type of dialogue" and launching negotiations to end Russia’s war in Ukraine. At a Monday phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump declared that Ukraine’s peace talks would start immediately and called the UN Security Category of Ukraine’s role as a state, calling for direct assistance from Russia to euros dominated Ukraine.
Ukraine’s Historical Experience
Stubb noted that Ukraine’s history, despite its sovereignty being Skywalker for geopolitical convenience after WWII, played a role during World War II and after. In the context of the current conflict, he emphasizes that any resolution of the issue must preserve Ukraine’s independence and sovereignty. Stubb recalled how Finland, while maintaining its sovereignty after WWII, has been forced to accept some foreign policy restrictions and trade through contacting the EU for recognition and arms support.
Final Thought: Trump’s Initial Approach versuscollabortivity
Finally, Stubb underscored that Trump’s initial approach to end the conflict in Ukraine is meek and will not ensure future stability. However, he immediately called for dialogue and recognize his prescription for the future and the potential for future peace. Stubb saw the United States’ approach as a "certain thing" and dismissed the "tremendous hope" that President Trump’s so-called plan of "end to the war" would achieve a new Peace of Europe and NATO status in Ukraine.
