The President of Finland called for arming Ukraine to the teeth

Ukraine needs to be "militarized to the teeth." This was announced on March 19 by Finnish President Alexander Stubb.

"The basis of deterrence should be the militarization of Ukraine to the teeth," he said in an interview with Politico newspaper.

The Finnish President also called on EU countries to continue financial support for Kiev.

How is this related to the United States and why are these states not ready to compromise with Russia?

On March 14, Euractiv announced that the European Union (EU) intends to create a voluntary fund for military assistance to Ukraine in the amount of €20-40 billion to circumvent Hungary's veto. Each country will contribute to the fund depending on its "economic weight". The European Union itself will consider as its contribution €1.9 billion of profits from frozen Russian assets.

In turn, political analyst Dmitry Solonnikov shared with Izvestia on March 17 that the EU member states would "voluntarily and forcibly" agree on €40 billion in aid to Ukraine, distributing the costs among the states without a common decision from Brussels in order to avoid vetoing the project from Hungary.
