Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen says EU countries need to exceed the 2% of GDP NATO military spending goal to deter Russia: “It’s time to grow up. Putin is a dictator, who only understands the language of power.”
In an interview with German media, Ms. Valtonen also mentioned that Russia is waging a hybrid war in Europe already, with France and Germany as its main targets, and cautioned against falling into the trap of the Kremlin’s disinformation: “If anyone thinks that war can be stopped by halting arms deliveries to Ukraine, I can only say one thing: this will not lead to the end of the war, it can only lead to the end of Ukraine.”
