Finnish President Alexander Stubb visited the United States. There, he met with U.S. President Donald Trump. They played golf and discussed cooperation between the two countries.
Stubb said that April 20th is a good date for a ceasefire in Ukraine. Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said that this date puts pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Tsahkna said that Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky have discussed a complete ceasefire. But Putin has presented new conditions that are not related to the ceasefire.
The Foreign Minister said that it is good that a specific date was given to Putin. Now is the time to put pressure on him.
Tsahkna said that Finland has not yet disclosed the details of the meeting. But it is known that broader topics were discussed.
The Foreign Minister said that there is no need to worry about British soldiers. The British have confirmed that they will not reduce their presence in Estonia.
Tsahkna said that it is necessary to find a deterrent force to send to Ukraine to ensure peace. But it is not about hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
The Foreign Minister said that a ceasefire has not yet been achieved. Putin does not show a desire for peace. Estonians do not need to worry. Estonia's security remains the same.
Tsahkna said that a ceasefire is not dependent on observers. Putin uses it as an excuse. With today's technology, a ceasefire can be monitored without observers.
The Foreign Minister said that peace on April 20th depends on Putin. If Putin gives the order, the war can be ended immediately.
