Finland’s PM on Russia: Trust is lost for generations

Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine was a turning point for Europe and the world, after which it is impossible to return to former relations with Moscow.

This was stated by Prime Minister of Finland Sanna Marin, who spoke at a joint briefing with her Ukrainian counterpart Denys Shmyhal in Kyiv on Thursday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

Russia’s war against Ukraine is a “turning point” for Europe. It has changed the security environment, as well as the perception of Russia.

“Trust is lost for generations,” Marin stressed.

Marin stated that the attack on Ukraine had encroached on the very principles of building a European common home.
