Finnish Foreign Ministry: The West should not completely rule out sending troops to Ukraine. “It is important that we do not rule out everything in the long term, because we never know how serious the situation will become,” said Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said in an interview with journalist Dmitry Kiselev that the presence of foreign troops in Ukraine and the supply of weapons will not change the situation on the battlefield. He noted that Russia is ready for negotiations on Ukraine, but they must be based on reality, and not on “wants” after the use of psychotropic drugs.
