President Alexander Stubb on Tuesday said that a lot of work has been done with Ukraine and the European allies in the meeting on peace in Ukraine in Washington but there is still a lot of work ahead.
Stubb attended a meeting hosted by U.S. President Donald Trump in White House on Monday where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and seven European leaders took part.
Stubb said that three concrete steps forward were taken at the meeting. These concern security guarantees, the upcoming meeting between the Presidents of Ukraine and Russia, and a trilateral meeting between Ukraine, the United States, and Russia, said the President Office in a press release on Tuesday.
“A lot of work has been done with Ukraine and our allies. But there is still a lot of work ahead,” President Stubb said.
“Our influence is limited, we are a small country. At the same time, we are the only country around the table in addition to Ukraine, with a border with Russia. Our point of view has relevance,” the President added.
In addition to President Trump, President Zelenskyy, and President Stubb, the meeting at the White House was attended by French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
