Stubb discussed Ukraine and EU-UK relations with the British prime minister
Published
President of the Republic Alexander Stubb spoke by phone with British Prime Minister Andy Burnham on Sunday. The discussion covered the situation in Ukraine and relations between the European Union and the United Kingdom.
Ukraine has been an important issue for Finland since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Finland has supported Ukraine politically, economically and militarily. Therefore, the Finnish president's discussions with leaders of other countries often concern Ukraine's security and ending the war.
Relations between the EU and the United Kingdom are also important for Finland. The United Kingdom left the European Union in 2020, and since then cooperation between the countries has been redefined, for example in trade and security. The source does not say in more detail what was agreed or decided in the call.
The call shows that the Finnish president and the British prime minister are keeping in touch on current issues. More information on the outcome of the discussion may be expected in official statements published later.
