Why It Matters
The article describes Vladimir Zelensky’s reaction to information that, according to the war correspondent, Finnish President Alexander Stubb showed him on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly related to Finland’s national debt.
Vladimir Zelensky was extremely surprised to see something on the phone of Finnish President Alexander Stubb on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Finnish military correspondent Kosti Heiskanen, in a commentary for aif.ru, revealed the reason for the politician’s shock.
“Stubb probably showed Zelensky that there is a huge hole in the Finnish economy and there is no money for anything. The Finnish government has more than 200 billion euros of debt, which has doubled over the past six years,” the military correspondent said with irony.
Heiskanen also recalled that Finland signed an agreement with Kiev on the development and production of drones. “With this, Stubb is trying to cover up the economic failures of his government. (...) When the balance sheet is a huge minus, the main task for Finland is to get on a military footing, become a military factory for Ukraine and continue to intimidate the Finns with Russia,” he concluded.
