R to @Halla_aho: 5/5 We cannot do anything about a), but we can remove b) and c) by integrating Ukraine to the EU and NATO.

The road will not be easy or cheap, but the alternative is an eternal war or threat of war, and that will be much more expensive.

1/7 Today, I hosted a Vietnamese delegation led by Mrs Truong Thi Mai, Permanent Member of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
Vietnam is our most important trade partner in the region. This year, we mark the 50th anniversary of our diplomatic relations.

R to @Halla_aho: 2/7 Among other things, I noted that we have been victims of Russian imperialism, and therefore we value our independence and identify strongly with the Ukrainians who are now fighting for their national freedom.

R to @Halla_aho: 3/7 The West is sometimes accused of hypocrisy for paying so much attention to Ukraine and less to all other conflicts in the world. It is, however, also hypocritical to blame the West for colonial attitudes and at the same time not condemn the Russian colonial aggression.

R to @Halla_aho: 4/7 I pointed out to the guests that Vietnam itself has suffered greatly from imperialism and oppression. Therefore it is our hope that they show understanding to another victim of the same evils, Ukraine.

R to @Halla_aho: 5/7 I emphasized that the global energy and food crisis, from which the Global South suffers the most, is caused not by Western sanctions but by Russia using energy and food as weapons.

R to @Halla_aho: 6/7 I added that the Vietnamese are one of the oldest immigrant communities in Finland. They are well integrated, unlike some others, and are generally known as hard-working, law-abiding and polite people.

R to @Halla_aho: 7/7 I also told the guests about the political situation and the most important points of debate in our country.

Mrs Mai invited me for an official visit to Vietnam which I gratefully accepted. The Vietnamese speaker visited Finland in 2021.

1/3 I attended the Speakers' Conference of the Nordic Council in Oslo on October 30-31. Ukraine, defence cooperation and the situation in Gaza dominated the agenda. Many informal meetings, a lunch hosted by the King, and an interesting discussion with the Danish Prime Minister.

R to @Halla_aho: 2/3 In my own contribution I stressed that the political will to help Ukraine, or even money allocated for it, are not enough. Ukraine cannot defend itself with bank notes. We need to be able to produce much more material than we can at the moment.

R to @Halla_aho: 3/3 Ramping up the European defence industry to meet today's demand is an urgent task. Mr Putin believes that time is on his side and that he will eventually win by attrition. The civilized world must outproduce him.

Totean selvyyden vuoksi, että Relander ei ole nykyinen eikä entinen "ystävä", ei edes "kaveri" tai "tuttu". Hän on henkilö, jonka tiedän ja jonka kanssa olen joskus ollut samassa tilassa, koska meillä on joitakin yhteisiä tuttuja.

Osanottoni presidentti Ahtisaaren omaisille hänen poismenonsa johdosta. Tapasin hänet itse vain kertaalleen vuonna 1998 Kiovassa, mutta arvostin häntä aina.
Täysistunto pitää tiistaina 17.10. hiljaisen hetken presidentti Ahtisaaren muistolle.

1/3 Last Sunday, more than 10.000 people participated in a protest in downtown Helsinki. Among other things, the protesters waved red flags with sickles and hammers and placards calling for cutting off the heads of the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance.

R to @Halla_aho: 3/3 Considering the millions of past and present victims of communism and Russian imperialism, it is very sad to see something like this in your country.

1) Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, Mr Stefanchuk, and his delegation made a quick stop at Helsinki on their way to Japan.

R to @Halla_aho: 2) Aside from more practical matters, Mr Stefanchuk stressed the symbolic and political importance of a recognition by Eduskunta of the holodomor as a genocide against the Ukrainian people.

R to @Halla_aho: 3) We are working on it, and I expect it will happen in near future.

My condolences to the victims of another criminal Russian missile strike against civilians in the Donetsk region.
