In the face of escalating tensions with neighboring Russia, Finland's President Alexander Stubb remains composed, emphasizing his confidence in the country's security posture.
Having assumed the presidency in March, Stubb, a seasoned politician from the Finnish moderate National Coalition Party, brings a wealth of experience to his role.
He highlights Finland's triple-layered defense strategy, consisting of national defense, NATO membership, and a defense cooperation agreement with the USA, as key to maintaining peace and stability.
Stubb also downplays the likelihood of a Russian military threat against Europe, citing Russia's ongoing struggles in Ukraine as evidence of its limited military capability.
