Stubb Says Ukraine’s Strikes Push Russia to Talk | US News

Finnish President Alexander Stubb argues Ukraine’s drone and missile strikes into Russia are strategically vital, forcing Moscow to the negotiating table by escalating pressure on its population and leadership. He says NATO allies support Ukraine’s approach, seeing it as the best path to peace, and that Ukraine’s current military and political strength is reshaping mediation efforts. Stubb warns Europe to expect more Russian hybrid attacks even after any ceasefire, and while Ukraine’s NATO membership remains on hold, he pushes for deeper defense cooperation and NATO-compatible systems. He personally wants Ukraine in NATO now, but admits political realities delay it — stressing that Ukraine’s advanced tech makes it indispensable to the alliance. Meanwhile, the Kremlin claims Trump’s stance on Ukraine has been steady, citing recent calls with both Putin and Zelenskyy, though his Iran focus has overshadowed Ukraine diplomacy.
