Finland’s President Alexander Stubb said neighboring Russia won’t stop with Ukraine if it’s not countered with strength in any negotiations over a ceasefire or peace. “The only thing that Vladimir Putin understands is power,” Stubb said in a Bloomberg TV interview on Sunday in London with Francine Lacqua .
Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he’s willing to meet Donald Trump again if he’s invited back to the US. He said Kyiv is ready to accept a minerals deal that was put on hold last week. French President Emmanuel Macron told Le Figaro that he and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer are working on a plan to reach a one-month truce in Ukraine.
“I don’t think anyone can trust Vladimir Putin, but don’t underestimate the capacity of Donald Trump to negotiate a deal and a tough deal,” Stubb, 56, said of the US president. “The most important thing we have to understand is that if that deal shows any kind of weakness or loss for Ukraine, we have all lost.”
