The negotiations between Russia and Ukraine "have reached a point where they need to start", Finnish President Alexander Stubb said in an interview with Le Monde, APA reports.
He also called the desire of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to see the Russian side at the second peace summit "the right way to play the cards".
He noted that Ukraine is now in a much stronger position than it was two months ago. The defense forces are receiving the equipment and funds necessary to maintain their positions.
"We are no longer in a situation close to the desperation we were in in the spring with the blocking of US aid and European difficulties in getting equipment to Kyiv. There is also no Russian breakthrough. According to our intelligence, Russia is not advancing, and its losses are even greater than before," the Finnish president explained.
Stubb also stressed the need to distinguish between a possible discussion process and peace. According to him, the start of negotiations does not mean that concessions must be made."
