Kremlin Condemns Finnish President Over Ukraine Strike Support

The Kremlin condemned Alexander Stubb after the Finnish president expressed support for Ukraine conducting long-range strikes deep inside Russian territory. Stubb argued that targeting Russian civilian logistics centers would increase the cost of Moscow's war effort and potentially pressure Russia to enter negotiations.

In response, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Stubb and British Prime Minister Andy Burnham belong to the "party of war" and desire the continuation of the conflict. Peskov further accused Stubb and other Western leaders of misleading their constituents by suggesting that Russia could be strategically defeated.
