Zelenskyy to meet Finnish president in wake of Trump-Putin talks – POLITICO

by · POLITICO

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is visiting Finland to meet top leadership in Helsinki, at a delicate point in Kyiv’s defense against Russia’s full-scale invasion.

“Europe must be at the negotiating table, and everything related to Europe’s security should be decided together with Europe,” Zelenskyy wrote Tuesday, announcing the visit, which will include first lady Olena Zelenska.

Zelenskyy’s meeting Wednesday with Finnish President Alexander Stubb, along with other senior officials, will come after a much-anticipated phone call between United States President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, as they hammer out Ukraine’s future without input from Kyiv or Europe.
