Finnish President Alexander Stubb stated that Russia is deliberately trying to play a delaying game in Ukraine and does not want a ceasefire or peace. His remarks came after the UK-hosted Coalition of the Willing meeting in support of Ukraine.

That is reported by Ukrinform, citing Yle and the STT news agency,

The Finnish President emphasized that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s goal remains the destruction of Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.

According to Stubb, the negotiations within the Coalition of the Willing, in which he participated remotely, marked “a step forward.” He confirmed that a coalition of like-minded countries, consisting of around 30 nations, is currently being formed.
