MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Finnish President Alexander Stubb said he is confident that US President-elect Donald Trump will facilitate a new stage of talks between Russia and Ukraine.
«I am confident that peace talks will now move to a new stage,» Stubb said at a press conference after the US presidential election.
The event was broadcast by Finnish media.
Stubb also suggested waiting for a specific plan from the new US administration.
The plan, he said, should respect Ukraine’s sovereignty.
Russia has been conducting its special military operation since February 24, 2022. President Vladimir Putin has said the operation aims to «protect people subjected to genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years.» According to the president, the ultimate goal of the operation is to completely liberate Donbas and create conditions that guarantee Russia’s security.
