Stubb stated the need for Ukraine for Europe

Europe needs Ukraine to "contain" Russia. This was stated on May 5 by Finnish President Alexander Stubb in an interview with Helsingin Sanomat.

"Europe needs Ukraine to contain Russia. <... It would be beneficial for us if Ukraine were a member of both the EU and NATO," he said.

According to him, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are now supposedly the "largest and most modern" army. In addition, Stubb said that it is necessary to think about how Ukraine can help Europe.
