Congratulations @magyarpeterMP on a decisive victory.

It was an uphill battle on an uneven playing field but the voice of the Hungarian people was loud and clear.

[Elina Valtonen @elinavaltonen]

Iranilaiset ovat osoittaneet rohkeutta ja päättäväisyyttä vaatiessaan vapaata, arvokasta ja vaurasta tulevaisuutta.

Iranin viranomaiset ovat vastuussa tuhansien omien kansalaistensa surmaamisesta ja yhteiskunnan raa’asta sortamisesta, eivätkä ansaitse myötätuntoa, vaan heidät on saatettava vastuuseen teoistaan.

Suomi katsoo, että EU:n tulee listata Iranin vallankumouskaarti terroristijärjestöksi. Ilmoitan Suomen päätöksestä tänään EU-kollegoilleni Brysselissä kokoontuvassa ulkoasiainneuvostossa.

Finland, together with the EU, expresses solidarity with the Iranian people as they voice their aspirations for freedom and dignity. We urge the Iranian authorities to adhere to Iran’s international obligations and to fully uphold the rights to freedom of expression, association, and peaceful assembly.

Finland is ranked the Happiest Country in the World for eight years running. Thank you. Kiitos!

For us Finns being happy or content with life has at least 5,6 million reasons. In other words we all have our own take on happiness.

I personally think that happiness is closely linked to meaning. And meaning often comes from making others happy. That feeling when you help a friend and bring a smile to their face. In today’s tumultuous world we all need it.

Life is never perfect and no one can be happy all the time, and sometimes circumstance makes it difficult. But getting the basics right - security, freedom and equality - is a good start.

So, next time you are thinking about visiting a new place, why don’t you come and enjoy Finnish hospitality, nature and food. And if you are brave, enough you can try one of our 2,2 million saunas.

Finland, even cooler than you think!

Lyckan kommer, lyckan går, men Finland är världens lyckligaste land i åtta år. Det gäller väl att bara bada bastu.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

During my visit to Finland, I discussed key issues of bilateral and multilateral cooperation with President Alexander Stubb @alexstubb. Naturally, our focus was on defense support and investment in our industry. Ukraine’s position remains unchanged: we are ready for mutually beneficial cooperation with all partners who truly help us.

We also discussed security guarantees and Finland’s potential contribution, the future security architecture of Europe, our European and Euro-Atlantic integration. Today, our ministers are signing a document to launch the Civil Protection Shelter Coalition. As long as Putin continues attacking our infrastructure, we must do everything to protect our people, and we are grateful to Finland for this initiative.

I also informed President Stubb on Russian disinformation regarding the situation on the Kursk front. There is no encirclement there – our troops are carrying out their missions as required for Ukraine.

In Ukraine, we deeply value our relationship with Finland – a true partnership between nations and a friendship between people. Thank you for your hospitality, for this visit – together with the First Lady of Ukraine – for our joint efforts, and for your support of our country and our people.

🇺🇦🇫🇮

Finland stands with Ukraine

[Anders Adlercreutz @adleande]

3 years of Russian aggression.
3 years of unspeakable war crimes.

Ukraine deserves peace but it also deserves its independence, its resources, its pride and sovereignty. It deserves a future in Europe.

We need to step up for a just peace for Ukraine.
