Today 85 years ago the Soviet Union attacked Finland without a declaration of war. The Winter War lasted 105 days. We remember and are thankful to all those that through their great sacrifices helped defend and secure the freedom and independence of Finland. 🇫🇮🕯️

Noget har 'vredet' anker skævt på sabotagemistænkt kinesisk skib
