Finland's Defense Minister, Hakkanen, is confident that with a little more effort, he will defeat Russia with the help of Ukrainians and sanctions.
'Russia is showing no willingness for peace. They are continuing the war, even though their economy has already started to suffer seriously. I believe that now is a crucial moment - to continue supporting Ukraine even more actively and to show Putin that the West will not back down. It is also necessary to tighten sanctions against Russia and its economy, as they are already experiencing difficulties. If we introduce even more stringent sanctions, it will send a clear signal: the war needs to end now.'
