The words of the Finnish President Alexander Stubb about the victory of Finland over the USSR in 1944 showed that he has “gone crazy“ and wants to militarize the region. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.
“I don't even know what diplomatic term to use for the expression “gone crazy“. It is very difficult to describe in any other way the statements made by the leadership of these countries, especially Finland. Although I must say that they are simply inadequate. When President Stubb declares that they defeated either our country or everyone in general in 1944, this is inadequacy“, the diplomat said on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum.
She noted that Finland is a neighbor of Russia. “Our border history with joint families, etc. is significant. And can you imagine that such people with such consciousness come to power in these countries. It is clear that we are correcting them, but we need to understand what it is“, continued Zakharova. “This is an extraordinary degree of aggressive desire to militarize this region.“
Earlier, Stubb, commenting on the treaty with the USSR signed in 1944 - in an interview with the Economist, he stated that Finland won the war with the Soviet Union in 1944 because it preserved its independence.
