Tavalliset ihmiset Ukrainassa ovat päättäneet taistella vapaan yhteiskunnan ja oikeuksiensa puolesta, niin Venäjän hyökkäyssotaa kuin vuosikymmenten neuvostovallan jäljiltä jäänyttä korruptiota vastaan. Me tuemme heitä, nimenomaan näitä tavallisia ukrainalaisia ihmisiä, heidän taistelussaan.

There is one area where we Finns don’t need small talk to break the ice. It is of course icebreakers. Arctic know-how is an asset in so many ways.

Peaceful protestors have gathered in front of the Parliament Building in Tbilisi, Georgia, to voice their concern over the repressive direction of their country. They have every right to democracy, to freedom of expression and basic human rights.

We are here to support them.

Vahva ja aktiivinen kansalaisyhteiskunta on demokraattisen järjestelmän selkäranka. Oli inspiroivaa tavata intohimoisia ja omistautuneita Armenian kansalaisyhteiskunnan ja ajatushautomoiden edustajia Jerevanissa. Työnne edistää myönteistä muutosta.

A strong, active civil society is the backbone of a democratic system. It was inspiring to meet passionate & dedicated representatives of the Armenian civil society and think tanks in Yerevan. Glad to see that your work drives positive change.

Today on the margins of the Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels, I thanked Josep Borrell for his term as the EU’s High Representative. The Finnish Moomins always strive for peace and I thought it suited well with Josep’s work and leadership.
