Kremlin rebukes Finland's Stubb over his support for long-range Ukrainian strikes on Russia
Stubb said the strikes could raise pressure on Moscow, citing a 65% share of Russians who want the war to end.
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov sharply criticized Finnish President Alexander Stubb, labeling him a prominent member of the Western "party of war" following Stubb's public endorsement of long-range Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory.
- Stubb defended Ukraine's strikes on Russian oil refineries and e-commerce logistics centers—such as Wildberries warehouses—as a "sensible military strategy" designed to raise the economic cost of the war for Moscow and compel Russia toward peace negotiations.
- Peskov expressed surprise at Stubb's stance, noting that the escalatory rhetoric contradicted the Finnish president's previous remarks regarding the eventual necessity of normalizing relations with Moscow.
- The Kremlin spokesman accused Stubb and other Western leaders of misleading their own citizens by falsely claiming that a strategic defeat of Russia is achievable while ignoring ground realities.
- The diplomatic row underscores heightened tensions along NATO's northern flank, following Finland's historic ascension into the military alliance.
