“We have to come from the basic assumption that Europe is divided in a certain way. On one side – Russia and Belarus, on the other – approximately 45 European countries,” said Stubbs, answering the question when free trade with Russia will be possible again.
According to Stub, it is not worth investing in Russia either now or in the future. He recalled that due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the introduction of Western sanctions, many Finnish companies were forced to simply write off their business in Russia.
“During my life, I have made many trips to promote exports, but I can guarantee that I will not make such trips to Russia during the six years that I am in the position of the President of the Republic,” promised Stubbs.
Finland and Russia – the latest news
On the night of November 17 to 18, Finland will close border crossings in the southeast of the country on the border with Russia. The authorities explain such a decision with the large number of asylum seekers.
The border zone is a peaceful area for the time being, and the situation on the border will be monitored.
Shortly before that, Finland decided to close the entrance to its territory to people coming from Russia on bicycles. The decision was made because this mode of transport has recently been increasingly chosen by illegal migrants.
