Today we celebrate the 30 years of diplomatic relations between #Finland and #Kazakhstan. It has been my pleasure to be serving in Nur-Sultan for over 3 years and working with our Kazakh colleagues to further our countries' good relations.

Бүгін біз #Финляндия мен #Қазақстан арасындағы дипломатиялық қатынастарының 30 жылдығын атап өтудеміз. Біздің елдеріміз сауда немесе институттарды дамыту сияқты көптеген салаларда ынтымақтасады. Біз жақсы қарым-қатынасымызды одан әрі тереңдетуге үміттенеміз @MFA_KZ

My key messages in a live interview on #CNN yesterday:

🔸Finland is a safe country
🔸We are not neutral. We are part of the West, an 🇪🇺Member State and a close partner to NATO
🔸We will make our own decisions to safeguard the security of Finland and 🇫🇮citizens

Russia attacked Ukraine one month ago. Finland continues to stand with the people of Ukraine. We strongly condemn Russia’s invasion, which is a blatant violation of international law. Our support for Ukraine's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity is firm 🇫🇮🤝🇺🇦

FM @Haavisto: We strongly condemn Russia’s military action against Ukraine. It is also an attack against the European security order and violates international law. Full support to Ukraine. We are looking at further ways to manifest this support bilaterally and together with EU.

[Kaisa Standish @KaisaStan]

🇺🇦 🇫🇮

[Sanna Marin @MarinSanna]

I strongly condemn the military action Russia has taken in Ukraine. The attack is a grave breach of international law and threatens the life of numerous civilians. Finland expresses its solid support to Ukraine and Ukrainians and we are looking for ways to increase this support.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

We strongly condemn Russia´s unjustified attack on Ukraine.

In these dark hours, our thoughts are with Ukraine and the innocent women, men and children as they face this unprovoked attack and fear for their lives.

We will hold the Kremlin accountable.

[Sauli Niinistö @niinisto]

I strongly condemn the military measures Russia has started in Ukraine. Russia's acts target Ukraine, but at the same time they are an attack on the entire European security order. We feel deep compassion towards Ukraine and are seeking ways to increase our support to Ukraine.

[The Olympic Games @Olympics]
