European countries must develop a clear plan for Europe’s participation in negotiations to resolve the war in Ukraine, stated Finnish President Alexander Stubb during a meeting with the media following the Support Ukraine plenary session.

Finland’s president has urged the rearming of Ukraine and putting “maximum pressure on Russia” in the run-up to possible peace negotiations sought by the U.S.

European leaders voiced support for Ukraine on the third anniversary of the Russia invasion while demanding a say in any US-Russia peace arrangement.

Finnish President Alexander Stubb revealed at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, February 15, that the United States has requested European allies.

The European Union is to disburse an aid payment for Ukraine worth €3.5 billion ($3.7 billion) in March rather than later this year, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced in Kiev.

Finland's President Alexander Stubb emphasized the critical nature of the Ukraine conflict for European security and American leadership. He highlighted the need for increased European defense spending and introduced a phased peace plan for Ukraine.
