Four years of extraordinary courage. Ukraine’s fight for freedom is the fight for our shared European values. The EU stands united in its unwavering support against Russia's war of aggression. We are with you for as long as it takes. 🇪🇺🇺🇦 #StandWithUkraine

Venäjän hyökkäyksen 4. vuosipäivän alla Suomi vahvistaa tukeaan Ukrainalle – 20 miljoonaa euroa tukea humanitaariseen apuun. Apua kanavoidaan YK:n humanitaaristen järjestöjen ja Punaisen Ristin kansainvälisen komitean @ICRC:n kautta. Lue lisää ⬇️ um.fi/ajankohtaista/…

Russian air strikes have left half of Kyiv’s apartment buildings without heating. In Finland, like in other places with harsh winters, we know what serious cold can mean. It can be a question of life or death. These strikes are a reminder of Russia’s complete disregard of human lives. Targeting civilians is and remains a war crime. Finland continues to stand by Ukraine and we reiterate our call for an immediate ceasefire.

As 2025 comes to a close, so does Finland’s @OSCE Chairpersonship 🇫🇮 Guided by three priorities — respecting OSCE principles, responding to today’s challenges, and preparing the OSCE for the future — Finland has kept support for Ukraine central. Thank you. Kiitos. #OSCE25FI

I strongly condemn the horrific drone attacks that targeted the @UNISFA_1 logistics base in Kadugli, Sudan, resulting in fatalities & injuries of members of the Bangladeshi @UNPeacekeeping contingent.   My heartfelt condolences to the families of the fallen peacekeepers & the Government & people of Bangladesh. I wish a swift recovery to the injured.   Attacks against @UN peacekeepers like this one are unjustifiable & may constitute war crimes. I remind everyone of their obligation to protect UN personnel & civilians. There will need to be accountability.

Freedom!

Finland stands in solidarity with the UK. Malicious cyber activities undermine security and stability of cyberspace.  We strongly reiterate that International law and due diligence obligations must be fully respected in cyberspace.

”The world has changed a lot in the past decades. And let us not forget, most of the change has been for the better. The number of countries rated Free has nearly doubled since 1975, when the Helsinki final act was signed. In the OSCE, the absolute number of independent, democratic, free societies has increased by around 15 to over 40. Across the world, people live longer, are healthier and better educated. They are freer than ever to shape their own future. This is the enduring spirit of the Helsinki Final Act — a spirit that is alive in the hands, hearts and minds of those who dare to believe that freedom is a right for everyone, not a privilege for the few. The power to tear down walls lies with the people. It always has, and it always will.” Today, I had the honour of addressing the UN Security Council as the Chairperson-in-Office of the @OSCE. Our year as Chair of the organisation is soon coming to an end. Russia’s war of aggression has made the organisation’s work difficult, yet despite all the challenges, we have continued to promote the Helsinki Principles and the freedom of people across all participating states. This work will continue.

In the past 100 years, no neighboring country of Russia has attacked Russia. During the same period, Russia has invaded 19 countries. Putin has given no reason to believe that Russia would change its imperialistic course. Thank you for the interview, @CBSNews.
