Russian Senator Alexei Pushkov advised Finnish President Alexander Stubb to go back to his wife after he said he had spent more time with Volodymyr Zelensky this week than with his wife.

Stub arrived in Ukraine on Thursday. At a press conference in Kiev, he noted that he had spent more time with Zelensky this week than with his own wife.

„According to Finnish President Stubb, he feels that he spends more time with Zelensky than with his wife. As far as we can tell, however, this has had little effect: Zelensky is still unhappy. But we can advise Stubb to return to his wife“, Pushkov wrote on his Telegram channel.

As Stubb explained at the press conference, last week he and Zelensky spent four days in Denmark, where a meeting was held in the format of the North-Baltic Eight (NB8), and before that they had flown together from Paris, where the so-called coalition of the willing gathered, and on Thursday they met again within the framework of the Finnish leader's official visit to Kiev. At the same time, Stubb noted that his wife arrived in Kiev before him.
