President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine has arrived in Helsinki ahead of an official visit to Finland on Wednesday.
The office of Finnish President Alexander Stubb disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.
According to the statement, the two presidents will discuss Finland’s support for Ukraine, including steps to end Russia’s war, and meet with defence industry companies.
The announcement comes as US President Donald Trump started a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin with the view to securing a ceasefire in Russia’s war with Ukraine and move toward a more permanent end to the three-year conflict.
It was gathered that Finland’s finance, defence and foreign ministers will participate in Wednesday’s presidential palace meeting, and Zelenskyy will also meet with Prime Minister Petteri Orpo and parliament speaker Jussi Halla-aho.
The statement further stated that during his second visit to Finland since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Zelenskyy is accompanied by his wife Olena Zelenska who will visit local schools with Stubb’s wife Suzanne Innes-Stubb.
