2:36 pm

2:38 pm
a stable democracy for over 100 years. and every time in history there's been an opportunity to hedge towards the west. we've. we've taken that opportunity in crisis. we've been a member of the european union for, for 3 decades now, and we have also being close to the corporate team with nature over the course of 2 caustic aid episode close that. by the time we sent in the application for joining the alliance, i made sure it was on this 100 percent intro approval with nato so. so yes indeed we have chosen aside, and then we have, we are now in the, in the family of a friend. so the other members of the european union where we belong in the face. so of, as i said, the perceived threat from russia, do you believe does, you'll government really believe that president putin has an interest as designs on a country like philip a members, you save the european union. it's not so much a function of whether we proceed in the media and immediate military to branch from,
2:39 pm
from russia. it's more that we want to contribute to the strength of, uh, the security architecture in, in europe. and to do that together with the french and now allies. so it's definitely that that, that and of course feel it has. busy a ways to invest it strongly into its own defense and to we indeed have not felt an immediate military threat from russia or from elsewhere. the kremlin recently described it as russell phobia. is that what it's about as well and not the total of the mental test of. busy we have never been attracted to russia. on the contrary, we have in the history we have had to defend ourselves against the oppression from russia. luckily, we have been able to remain independent. i also during the 2 boys in the 2nd will land where russia invaded feeling so. busy
2:40 pm
and now as members of nato, it's exactly the same. we are not there to print in anybody. we do have many russian speaking people. busy in finland and also people would so the russian nationality and these people a valuable part of our society and there's definitely not this. no, no, no sign of the roster from phobia and in this country whatsoever. but it has to be said that to, especially ever since russia launched it's full scale invasion of ukraine. busy has been other when seen and but also. busy in the european union, a very region to position, which means that there is no political contact with russia when you have imposed sanctions towards russia. and we have, of course, been aging ukraine in,
2:41 pm
in the defense where they are protecting the and silver energy and territorial integrity which they have the right to based on the human shots. while the continent was particularly in the face of your plans to join nato, that it would consider such a step, an aggressive one, presidents out in any so often and said that your country should be prepared for quite sick malice from russia in return. has that sort of response manifested itself? well, female is a silver ring country, and we every 2 l i now selves with the, with other countries, again, not opposing any trend towards anybody. well, russia has also said many times that to, to them, it was not just surprise that team enjoying nato seems we have been very closely cooperating anyway. and us members of the european union, of course,
2:42 pm
just choosing the same security architecture like like a fellow member states have done. and in that respect is finland was a military threat to russia. why have they moved all the troops away from this western border towards finland? indeed, they have done so uh for, for them or progression in ukraine. and clearly they are not seeing any military respect from feeling. yes, i have to stood still have i, they have responded in the face of, you'll move towards nato in the form of increased espionage as your intelligence services say. so cyber security threats and so on. there's a new election due in the spring of next year, as indeed varies in russia. you've got that 18000 strong as you said, russian speaking population. are you concerned about what russia can do in terms
2:43 pm
of spreading this information in terms of interfering with your election in terms of ongoing efforts to disrupt your cyber security too? well, these actions of malice, these unfortunately are nothing you be so actions that russia has been undertaken to several. busy or, you know, though, i do opinion countries over the course of the past. yes. so it's, it's no doubt position to speculate whether some of their actions in response to voice disappearing and joining nato or making other minutes that we can do as a, as a sort of a nation. we, of course, prepare. we have invested into defense, into a deterrence together with the comments and allies. and um, and we just have without fries to sit most recent incident where russia is actively engaged in sending a 3rd country nationals towards the finish border to seek asylum that they will
2:44 pm
seize this operation because they serve every or as less way of women. i think people and especially now that the winter has come to fill in where we trace temperatures, so even minus 20 degrees celsius and we have snowing laflin that they are sending people over with the know appropriate clipping, no equipment. it's just in humane and we ask freshman to stop this operation will i will get on to that in just a moment. but 1st, staying on the issue of defense among the 1st big deals that you struck in the process of bolstering your defense, along with georgia, united was the purchase of a high altitude the defense system from israel. it was a deal with $346000000.00. the system is called david's sling capable of intercepting ballistic and cruise missiles, croft and drones in continuing to see this deals through given the current context
2:45 pm
of the war on gaza. are you taking sides there? as well, of the, the defense forces and again the and the emphasis on the word defense makes the decisions on procurement independently of outside. busy what's happening, so of course, in relation to the policy of positives and now why so the, you need to and the purchasing vehicle and equipment from where they find the best capability. so the best equipment to support the capability, so it has nothing to do with the war on going gaza. and when it comes to the situation in the middle east, fealand is fully aligned with the european union procession where we do mon, to monetary and forces humanitarian coordinators for the 80 to reach the people. we
2:46 pm
urge both parties at all parties to valley usability and lives and protect civilians. and we have also increased a level of age and significantly into the region. the european union has what drops out its age too, god. over the course of the past 6 weeks. so we have a very good sense of what's going on, and we hope that the situation will, will come for us to a conclusion where there will be again, inception of tools for last thing piece. based on the 2 state solution that we're supporting, the, the opposition, the less the line spot in your country isn't happy with the defense deal with these route. they demand that you quoted off saying it is not right to buy arms from a country that maintains an illegal occupation and is known to bomb civilian. so you move by that argument to tool belinda said democracy and we have
2:47 pm
a multi party system. we have no name, 9 policies, you can call them and, and one of those is indeed the left party. and you know, the tree or politicians have the right to also oppose the position of the government, which is a majority government. and this is no more politics, but i want to stay on this just for a moment because those opposition figures and indeed there are others who would agree might say that he's riley's little different to russia in the fact of maintaining and illegal occupation and bombing civilians yet one you condemn the other, you do business with well, we have actually be in condemning. israel is the, the legal settlements in the west that those against international law. and we have been clearly staging opposition. we have been also contending to the increasing by
2:48 pm
when scott is re lease is rarely see relates to billions acting upon posting and civilians in the settlements. and we have age each row to stall and we have no double standards here whatsoever. the finish and the european union's position is crystal clear, and that is to uh, to protect civilians to dollars human rights. everyone in the world as well. some people i suspect, would argue that it's not right to be doing business with one of those countries and sanctioning heavily and refusing to have anything to do with the of the should the you do using be worried that what he's perceived as double standards, whether you agree or not, but it is double standards perceived by large boxes that say the global south, for instance, might complicate e u efforts to take other countries along with it as it continues to pursue it's
2:49 pm
ukraine policy that they might say, well, you can't keep telling us that russia is this, this aggressor in ukraine, whilst continuing to essentially operate a business as usual with a, with as well. well, 1st of all we have been very loud and clear and also on out israel policy like just said we are not definitely not accepting moves which are against the international and especially not against you many terry and little. we also support the i, c, c, the international criminal court. and you just said to investigate or crimes which have been now undertaking over the past weeks in, gosh, i probably, they'll get to come many. so feeling force impulse, that's what independent of who can reach those crimes with the individual member of the you forgive me for minutes to go so far as to say france has done in cooling
2:50 pm
for an absolute definitive cease 5 at this point. or we are hoping that now this d. busy that has been assigned a few days humanitarian force in order for the, for the age to reach the civilians. that these could be a step towards a permanent sci fi and also towards negotiations between the parties. we should the posting in authority to negotiate for the police to new people, but it of course has to have to match the data of the palestinian people and your view on the future. beyond the war in gaza. is it to pursue a 2 state solution? easy to recognize a palestinian state as soon as possible. the finished position has been the same for a very little time. and that is that there needs to be
2:51 pm
a negotiated tuesday solution, which will also lead to the recognition of the state of palestine. and that negotiation needs to be based on the border screen. 1967. and this is definitely something that not the only thing and then, but the european union is keen to engage in, in helping us parties to establish those negotiations. and to, to find a way for peaceful future. let's go back to current events in your region. if i may, i want to ask you about your governments claim you raised the, the russia is deliberately guiding refugees and asylum seekers to fitness, east border. all you 2nd, this is happening and to what end do you believe it's happening? what's the purpose as well? we are very sure that this is happening. we haven't had asylum seekers from russia really. while we're talking a few incidents over the course of the past few years,
2:52 pm
up until the past few weeks where russia has been intentionally lifting 3 and p. busy busy without valley documentation or with missing documentation altogether, and those people are coming mainly from certain countries. we do also have evidence that not only is russia lifting those people pass to the phoenix border, but they have been also actively engaged in transporting those people to the border crossing stations on what's more, we have also heard that prussia is apparently losing its visa policy. in many countries in order to allow for people to travel to russia and food pressure to us to finish border and from the to the european union. and obviously this is the case example. busy the height of a hybrid operation, wherever shays with an icing people, we caught the except that and we will have a regent risk ones like that has been over the course of the past 2 weeks from the finish government. but also we will do that or together with that partners and not
2:53 pm
is what i want to talk about your response because he's been a pretty drastic at the beginning, instituting a new law that would allow the government to block asylum seekers at the border in certain circumstances then he went on to band people travelling over the board about bicycle. and now most recently closing, i think old but one of 9 border crossings between russia and friend and not everybody entirely happy with that. the finish refugee council for it's insane. the right to seek refuge must be respected regardless of where applicants come from or how they access the border. essentially, that's an accusation that you're in breach of international humanitarian law. ringback well, we're definitely not a branch of international humanitarian law. i said we have been accepting, taking a asylum, see just into a country another point of view from
2:54 pm
a finish. come and tell you to an academic at the university of east infinity code, you'll see lane, who believes helsinki is over reacting to a deliberate russian to attempt to stay at to start have up to create habit, suggesting you're responding exactly the way russia would like. you to be well, we can speculate on how russia would like us to response, but we have to protect our citizens and the national security. and it's doing that . we're having it's open debate. but the vast majority of things is very concerned about the situation. and would like russia to go back to adhering to the contrast between 2 countries, adhering to international law and stop this hybrid, no gratian. finally, foreign minister sweden has also given up its neutrality along with finland, leaving just austria, island, malta, and switzerland. switzerland is the last 4 remaining neutral countries in europe.
2:55 pm
there was a time and a place essentially for neutrality during the cold will. they will buffer states so essential, go betweens, between east and west, isn't the case. now, a post cold war with a hot or happening in your that the, that the doctrine of neutrality has as run its course. do you think? well, nato is another, is an alliance for defense and is not there to threaten anybody. it is then to secure the european security architecture and essentially a stable, unsecure future for the people are reciting in europe. so the employed was a natural choice to take full finland for sweden. maybe that's all those as well. and certainly many of those countries who are within the european union except for switzerland and the countries you mentioned. we are far from being neutral since ever since we signed the lease. been trained in the you,
