Finland will not restore relations with Russia until the aggression against Ukraine stops, said the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Elina Valtonen, during the presentation of the government's report on the country's foreign and security policy.

Helsinki does not expect direct military aggression from Russia but does not rule out hybrid attacks, as was the case, for example, during the influx of migrants to the Russian-Finnish border.

Valtonen also expressed her hope that the Russian Federation will eventually turn into a democratic country but added that one should not expect quick changes.
