Finnish President Alexander Stubb stated that he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin does not want peace in Ukraine. Stubb described the chances of a ceasefire as "abysmal" and claimed Putin's goals have not changed. Ukraine is open to a ceasefire, but Russia is not currently willing to negotiate. This follows a recent proposal from the U.S. and a meeting of world leaders where concerns about Putin's intentions were raised. Stubb called for increased international pressure on Putin, including more sanctions and support for Ukraine. Finland, which shares a long border with Russia, has been a NATO member for nearly two years.
