Two in three Finns oppose normalising relations with Russia
Published
According to a new survey, two in three Finns oppose the idea of normalising relations between Finland and Russia. The survey was conducted by Ilta-Sanomat, and its results show that most respondents do not support improving relations in the near future.
Relations with Russia have been difficult since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Finland has since joined NATO, and the border between Finland and Russia has been largely closed. Many Finns see Russia's actions as a threat to Finland's security, and this is also reflected in the survey results.
The survey does not clearly state how many people took part in it. The survey results should therefore be viewed with caution. Even so, they give a clear picture of how many Finns feel about the situation.
Experts are following the situation closely. According to them, opinions may change over time, depending on how the war between Russia and Ukraine develops and how the Finnish government acts toward Russia in the future.
