Finnish President Alexander Stop is studying the chances of his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, to agree to the ceasefire in Ukraine, “Space”.
“Putin does not want peace,” Stop said in an interview with the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) on Sunday. Stop said that Putin’s original goal was on Ukraine to “stop exist”, adding that he “did not change his goal.”
While Ukraine expressed its willingness to consider the ceasefire, Russia is still unwilling to participate in immediate negotiations, especially after the last US proposal.
After a meeting videolink from 29 world leaders on Saturday, British Prime Minister Kiir Starmer Putin accused of trying to “delay” the ceasefire.
Stop argued that the international community should increase the pressure on Putin. The Finnish President called for more sanctions, and the use of frozen Russian and “Ukrainian military” assets to help in setting conflict.
Finland, which is in the range of 1340 km with Russia, was a member of NATO for nearly two years.
