Stubb: Strikes Deep Into Russia Are A Smart Ukrainian Strategy

Following the Coalition of the Willing summit in Kyiv, Finnish President Alexander Stubb stated that strikes on oil refineries and logistics warehouses in Russia are increasing the number of Russians who want the war to end. Speaking at a press conference, Stubb emphasized that Ukraine needs support from its partners to build up its capacity to strike deep into Russian territory using missiles and drones.

He believes this strategy increases the cost and price of the war for Russia, as evidenced by the fact that 65% of Russian population now wants the conflict to end, with strikes on logistics hubs adding another 10%. Stubb firmly stated that this is the only way to compel Russia to negotiate, and he separately noted the high financial cost of the war for Ukraine. He emphasized the need to find a solution to this issue.
