" We Have to Make Sure that They Will Win": Finland’s Prime Minister Urged to Boost Support for Ukraine 

Finland’s Prime Minister Sanna Marin stressed the need to increase the aid for Ukraine in order to win the war against Russia, AP reports.

"We need hard power when it comes to Ukraine. They need weapons, they need financial support, they need humanitarian support, and we need to also make sure that all the refugees fleeing from Ukraine are welcomed to Europe", Marin told reporters when asked what soft-power influence smaller countries like Finland and New Zealand could exert.

Marin said the war felt very concrete for Finland due to the 1,300-kilometer (800-mile) border it shares with Russia. She said Finland had already given 10 shipments of weapons to Ukraine.

"We have to make sure that they will win", the Prime Minister said.

She said Western countries also needed to ensure sanctions were “harder and harder against Russia” because the war was affecting everyone, not only the innocent civilians dying in Ukraine but also people worldwide with higher energy prices.
