- On Saturday, President Alexander Stubb of Finland said a ceasefire in Ukraine is unlikely before spring and urged European allies to keep supporting Kyiv despite a corruption scandal.
- Russia is conducting kinetic and hybrid attacks across Europe, increasing risks for Finland with its long border, while Putin seeks to deny Ukraine's independence, Stubb said.
- Stubb proposed tapping hundreds of billions in frozen Russian assets held in Europe as collateral to fund Ukraine and said Ukraine is negotiating with the United States for more firepower.
- Kyiv faces immediate pressures as Russia makes creeping gains, prompting Stubb to urge European leaders to boost support while addressing three big ceasefire questions: security guarantees, economic rebuilding, and territorial claims.
