Stubb: Strikes deep inside Russia are a smart strategy for Ukraine
Strikes on oil refineries and logistics warehouses in Russia increase the percentage of Russians who want the war to end.
Finnish President Alexander Stubb emphasized on a press conference that strikes carried out inside Russia are a smart military strategy for Ukraine. These strikes, which target Russian oil refineries and online retail networks, aim to increase the cost of the war for Russia. Stubb pointed out that 65% of the Russian population now desires an end to the conflict, and strikes on logistics centers like Wildberries have increased this figure by another 10%.
According to the Finnish president, this type of military strategy is the only way to compel Russia to engage in peace talks. Stubb further stressed that Ukraine must find solutions to its financial burden in the ongoing war. European Council President Antonio Costa previously mentioned that the EU has considered Ukraine's financial requirements and remains committed to disbursing funds through the Ukraine Support Loan.
