Finland condemns the Russian drone attack hitting an apartment building in Romania. Russia is crossing another line in its war of aggression against Ukraine.

Finland stands with its ally Romania and continues to support Ukraine to defend itself. The situation is being discussed within the Alliance.

[Alexander Stubb @alexstubb]

Last night Russia launched a massive drone and missile attack on Kyiv. Once again, it targeted residential areas and civilian infrastructure. 

This senseless war of aggression has to be stopped. We must continue putting pressure on Russia’s war machine and increase our support to Ukraine.

[Leena-Kaisa Mikkola @FINambUS]

Honored to accept @FreedomHouse’s Leadership Award on behalf of Finland and President @alexstubb today. In his remarks, the President emphasized that democracy requires constant effort. Finland remains firmly committed to advancing freedom and democratic values.

Spoke with @SenTedBuddNC about the trade and economic relations between FIN and NC—especially active in the defense and dual use sectors. Several business delegation visits have taken place in the past few years.

We look forward to deepening the connections between 🇫🇮 and NC!

Thank you for a wonderful showcase of Finnish choral talent and a warm reception with the Finnish American community!

I am relieved that President Trump, the First Lady and the guests of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner are safe.

Violence against politicians and the media have no place in democracy. I have conveyed my support in the face of this attack to @POTUS .

[Leena-Kaisa Mikkola @FINambUS]

Yesterday, I visited the Data Center World Expo, where @VaisalaGroup, Vilpe, @ABBgroupnews and ASSA ABLOY presented their expertise.

Enjoyed joining a discussion on the future of the Finnish maritime ecosystem.

🇫🇮 shipbuilding expertise is world-renowned, and more icebreakers and cruise ships will be built over the upcoming years. Yet, there's room for more growth, innovation, and international cooperation.
