Jaakkola's remarks will carry significant political weight. It's entirely possible that Finland will withdraw from the Ottawa Convention.

Western allies should not "not set and express red lines" in supporting Ukraine, France's foreign minister said.
The comments could be interpreted as aimed at Germany's continued refusal to provide Kyiv with long-range missiles.
