Zelenskiy Remains in Kyiv Amid Russian Attacks: 'All of Us Are Here' https://t.co/XMgxib2sip käyttäen @YouTube
They are still there, the Ukrainian people´s heroic fight for their independence continues. We stand with Ukraine. They are also fighting for us. Slava Ukraini!

Among allies, issues are best resolved through discussion, not through pressure.

Strengthening Arctic security together with allies is very important for Finland. This is also the purpose of the Danish-led and allied-coordinated action in Greenland.

European countries stand united. We emphasize the principles of territorial integrity and sovereignty. We support Denmark and Greenland.

Dialogue with the United States continues. Tariffs would undermine the transatlantic relationship and risk a dangerous downward spiral.

Today in Brussels, I met with Prime Minister of Finland @PetteriOrpo. I thanked him for the recently announced 30th defense package worth €52 million and for Finland’s accession to the PURL initiative with a contribution of €100 million. This is real support for our defense. We also discussed cooperation within the SAFE instrument for the procurement of long-range missiles, drones, and artillery ammunition.

Special attention was given to the Russian attacks on our energy infrastructure. I informed the Prime Minister about the strikes, and we discussed the restoration of relevant facilities and contributions to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund. We also touched upon the issue of shelters and Finland’s leadership in the corresponding coalition.

I appreciate all of Finland’s support. Thank you for the meeting.

🇺🇦 🇫🇮

Torstaina Washingtonissa solmittu sopimus on Suomen työvoitto. Työtä tehtiin yrityksissä, hallinnossa ja ministeriöissä. Kaiken mahdollistaa kuitenkin suomalainen meriteollisuusosaaminen.

Det avtal om isbrytarsamarbete som undertecknades i Washington i torsdags är en seger för Finland. Det förberedande arbetet har utförts vid företag, myndigheter och ministerier. Men det viktigaste av allt är den finska sjöfartsindustrins expertis.

The agreement on icebreaker collaboration signed in Washington on Thursday is a victory for Finland. It has been prepared by companies, government agencies, and ministries. However, it is Finnish maritime industry expertise that makes it possible.

Yesterday we hosted a high-level event, bringing together representatives from Finland, Netherlands, Sweden, and Poland, alongside Finnish space and defense technology leader ICEYE.

The event highlighted the strength of Finnish innovation in the space and defense sectors.

@HeidiJuopperi Sirpa Säynätsalossa, tuosta olisi Juice tai joku muu Suomi-rockin legenda kehittänyt "vetävän" biisin.

@JohannaKukka @pekkasauri Taas on pakko siteerata ja jatkaa Unto Kupiaista, on se vaan:
Vieras on virta, ja vieras on vene,
eivät ne unelmies uomia mene.
Ilta on ihmisessä, aamu on outo;
illasta aamuun on ihmisen souto.

@ErvastiPekka @merentie Varsin komea kyrmyniska, mutta jos kuvassa näkyvä lusikka (?) on pyyntiväline, niin erikoiset värit. Ei punaista tai oranssia lainkaan.
