Finland stands with the people and the people’s right to choose. In Ukraine, people have chosen freedom.

We stand by Ukraine. 🇫🇮🇺🇦

I met with the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office and Finland’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, @elinavaltonen.

We highly value that her first visit in this role was to Ukraine and appreciate Finland’s OSCE Chairmanship prioritizing Ukraine and the “peace through strength” approach.

Our discussions focused on what more the OSCE can do to protect our children, support our soldiers, and assist in the release of Ukrainians held in Russian prisons. We also addressed strengthening sanctions against Russia’s shadow fleet, which finances the war, undermines oil price caps, and poses a threat to the environment.

The OSCE can take on a bigger role in protecting lives. Together, we can make this happen and bring lasting peace closer.

🇫🇮 Finland stands by the @IntlCrimCourt, which must be allowed to carry out its mandate without fear or favor #ASP23

[MFA Finland 🇫🇮 @Ulkoministerio]

Today marks the 85th anniversary of the start of the Winter War, when the Soviet Union attacked Finland without a declaration of war.

Defending Finland’s independence came at a heavy cost: we retained our independence, but more than 25,000 Finns lost their lives.

@janinamariana Näyttää kiinnostavalta! Ehkä tän voi joskus saada lainaksi, kun olet sen itse lukenut?

[MFA Finland 🇫🇮 @Ulkoministerio]

Today marks 1,000 days of Russian aggression against Ukraine.

The Finnish Foreign Ministry's building will be illuminated to show our solidarity to the Ukrainians.

Ukraine fights for the free world.

Ukraine deserves a just and sustainable peace.

[MFA Finland 🇫🇮 @Ulkoministerio]

Nordic Foreign Ministers express their concern at the prospect of the Israeli Knesset passing two bills, effectively preventing #UNRWA from carrying out its mandate in the West Bank and Gaza.

Happy Aleksis Kivi Day and Day of Finnish Literature! 🇫🇮

Aleksis Kivi (1834–1872) is one of the founders of literature in the Finnish language.

His works are of immeasurable importance for the Finnish language and for the image of Finland and Finnishness.
